ActiveWinamp does not function too well with multiple
instances of Winamp. This is a complicated problem to
solve.

A possible resolution is to register the class using a
moniker which represents the /class name that winamp
was started with.

However, this wouldnt help in the case of -embedding
where you can't pass a class name...

    Unfortuantly, single document interface, single instance,
    dialog based applications don't lend themselves well to this
    sort of stuff. Especially given that winamp can be run in both
    multiple instance and single instance modes. Its quite a
    difficult problem, which would require a complex solution,
    possibly using monikers and hackingup the /class command
    line.. maybe.

    I welcome anyone to have a look at it themselves. Ive looked
    into it myself but could not come up with a good yet simple
    soution.
