When I play the game there sometimes appears some black/white boxes fastly and then they disappear. This is a little disturbing.

This is most likely Winamp's "always on top" function, which steals/tries to steal the focus of WA and can also cause distorted colours.
Disable it by pressing Ctrl+A when the main Window is selected and you should be able to run Winamp in the background without a problem.

Also, don't have Visualizations running either.
