Help Streaming music through headphones, text message forces music to go through speakers

When I am streaming music (Pandora or Slacker) with headphones and a text message comes through the audio will start playing through the phone speakers instead of headphones. It doesn't appear to happen while playing music off the SD card. Does anyone know how to fix this? It really makes my phone useless as an mp3 player.

Also, does anyone else's music...skip(?) a lot while playing from their SD card. Streaming music is smooth but music on my phone itself will skip a couple times a song.

I've tried rebooting my phone multiple times. I use the stock music player for songs on my card.
