Reason why I say that is because I installed the iRadio application (great app according to everyone with it's fair share of issues). But, the issue I had was somewhat weird and scary: I installed it. Started using it on speaker. Then, I plugged in my headset into it. I heard nothing. Took out the jack, heard nothing. No volume on my phone. Seemed like the volume on my phone got knocked out for some reason. I made a call and put the phone on speaker. Heard everything just fine. Played a movie, heard nothing. Restarted, but had the same issue.
I did 3 or 4 more restarts and it all of a sudden worked again (my volume that is; sound on my phone). I looked up on forum posts and all I saw was people complaining about volume control, not major issues like that. So, I uninstalled it.
Bottom line, that program could have wiped out my volume on my phone being the way it is. So, I will have to wait for the newer version to come out before I reinstall it. Scary situation though as I was about to do a restore thinking it wiped out my sound functionality.
It might also have been nothing more than a coincidence. You mentioned that you plugged in your headphones while playing music and then you started having problems. You could have a short in your headphones or fell subject to the known issue affecting the switch inside the headphone jack not fully releasing so sounds don't always work. If you read up on a piece of software and more than one or two people use it with no problems and have used it for some time with no problems (or at least no severe problems) then it is a pretty good assumption that you will have the same performance UNLESS you have other mitigating circumstances such as a defective headset or other odd issues (not saying you do, just giving an example).
