Youtube Can't Multitask

Does anyone know if youtube on ICS 4.0.3 can play while minimized or while browsing another tab? I can't figure it out. I have a Acer A200 ($200 @gamestop btw) and it's a great value but this really sucks. I always multitask with youtube. I tried the app and the browser and both are no go. Please help.

The YT app on Android is ass. I haven't found a way, in fact if a yt channel has over x amount of videos, you can't see every video that person made in the app.

There are some YT channels I start from the beginning and work my way through it. I can't with this app and it's annoying.

I use the YT app on the Asus Nexus 7, Sammy GS3, and a Droid X (Jellybean, ICS, Gingerbread), and it doesn't work minimized on any of them. I cant even search for a new video while the last one is playing.

The app has always been pure shite
