Here are some things you can try if you still have issues with 5.13:
  1. Uninstall winamp and delete the winamp directory in Program Files.
  2. When installing winamp, uncheck all the extra features except the bare necessities like media library and directsound. This will install less plugins, and hopefully make your winamp more stable.
  3. Finally, in the plugins output menu, select directsound, and try turning off H/W acceleration, since its buggy with some sound card drivers.
You can also try the winamp forums. There may be a way to enable debugging and have one of their developers help you out. I found a lot of good info their when working on this plugin.

I just started using winamp5 in my carpc, so I can't vouch for its stability yet. I'll keep you posted and hope you do the same.
