Stream restarts when pressing widget

When playing music, if you press the widget the player opens and the stream restarts.  Didn't used to do this?  If a stream is playing and you press another favorite shortcut, it doesn't switch to the new stream, it reopens the one you were listening to. 

Also, the widget always loses the metadata when I have it in a car dock landscape.  This has been an issue from the beginning on this newest version of xiia since it's beta release on both my droid x2 and original droid.  I have the app 'dock nothingness' active on both phones, not sure if this might be contributing.
