Not sure if there is any truth in this, but it's possible Microsoft are somewhat interested in buying what remains of Nullsoft from AOL, and this includes Winamp and Shoutcast.

Thinking about it and seeing what MS did with Skype, it could be a wise move by MS to move away from products linked in to their operating systems.
