BB(Z10 - 10.2.1.537) issue since Neutron 1.77.3.2

Hello,
I've been running Neutron for some time now, in general I love the application. However it seems like your latest release has borderline broken your application. My Z10 is running 10.2.1.537 and Neutron is up to date (1.77.3.2). I have a set of shure E535's hooked up to the Z10.
When listening to music with Neutron if I open any other application (BBM for ex) and type to a contact, artifacts and popping are introduced into the audio stream (it's not subtle at all), the same types of noises are observed when moving between applications. The very same problem does not happen when using the default "music" application on my device. The problem doesn't appear to always show up immediately (if Neutron has been running for awhile it's pretty much a guarantee), if I reboot my device and load neutron it will run without issue for a few minutes but eventually it will be back in the same state as before, to sum it up:
Typing in a screen = noise in my headphones
Minimizing screens, moving between applications = noise in my headphones
Notifications are also not processed normally, half the time they start with clicking and popping. it sounds as if the notifications and Neutron are fighting for the same audio stream.
I've also noticed weird volume inconsistencies via Bluetooth (when hooked up to my 2011 Subaru WRX's HU) this is also a problem that has surfaced since the most recent Neutron release. Seems like if notifications are not silent and one comes in the device responds by lowering the music volume for 2-3 seconds (I have not tested this I've just noticed my volume flopping all over the place when my notifications are turned on).
This whole noise in my headphone deal pretty much kills the entire experience for me and as a result I've had to revert to my old BB music app (which - sucks). I don't see any other reports of this so I assume I'm somehow a unique snowflake. When this issue starts typically closing Neutron and re-opening it will resolve the problem temporarily.
