Ahaa! But it is if you keep the info window open AND have another way to
activate playback.

If you have the Winamp main window and the Playlist window open, you can
activate the INFO on one and still START/STOP/FF/REWIND the playback in the
other window.

This is easy to prove by playing a file that clips. Keep the info window open
and click on your other WInamp window(main or Playlist) and hit 'X' to play. As
you will see the attenuation section will not add any more samples to the
"Clipped Samples". The attenuation stays and you're cool to go :).

I know it's a workaround, but it works.
