Jeff, my only idea comes from the descriptions of the conditions under which the problem does and does not happen: since it doesn't happen when he minimizes the window with windows-m, but it does happen several different places when he chooses choices from the winamp menus, I was wondering if you're doing anything with events which would be triggered by a menu choice? either window events or msaa events?
do you do anything which could cause an infinite loop to occur? that would account for the loss of speech and the sluggishness that has been reported. Maybe you should ask this on the scripting list, where you might find winamp users who could offer better suggestions than these.
