It is a low priority task for me, but I'm currently taking a look at it.

No, this problem is inside Winamp - i.e., not in the "in_rtp.dll" 
plugin.  I know of no way to fix (or even diagnose) this problem, 
because it's occurring inside Winamp itself (which is closed source).  Sorry.

I may also take a look at this.

In general, though, I recommend using VLC <http://www.videolan.org/> 
rather than Winamp.  VLC plays far more codecs than Winamp (and video 
as well as audio), is open source, and its developers are far more 
responsive than Winamp's.
