I think you will find that is because the Game then wants to swap to Full Screen mode and takes over the graphics device. <ALT>+<TAB> or <WINKEY>+<TAB> may be enough to swap back to Winamp but you'd need to do this between game rounds as you'd loose your gaming screen. I don't think what you want to do is possible.

Maybe this
1. Winamp > Ctrl+P (for Preferences)
2. General Preferences
3. uncheck 'Disable always on top while fullscreen applications are focused'
4. close out of prefs

Many games implementation of fullscreen may override the AOT features of other applications.
