Unfortunately Apple has put the onus on developers to properly support the iPhone multi-tasking scheme. It is the developers responsibility to save the state of the application before resigning active and when re-assuming.
It's a compromise. Battery life versus full application running in the background.

Exactly, I care way way more about battery life than multi-tasking. One of the biggest problems i used to have with my old dell axim was that you had to go in and kill a task in order for it to stop running. If you forgot, your battery life was lucky to last an hour.
Anyway, re: my bluetooth problem, it turns out that the newest OS allows you to have volume control on both your bluetooth device AND your iphone. Unfortunately the volume is set to 0 when you first install it so you have to go to the rocker on the side and turn the volume up. Seems like a simple solution but considering the volume buttons on the iphone were always locked before, I didn't even think to check it, I just kept trying to turn up the volume on my headset.
Anyway, in case anyone else has this problem, that's the fix.
