Will AIMP2 interfere with PB?
If it doesn't hook into the game it should be fine. In-game overlays are a common cause of PB kicks.
I'm curious how false positives are handled. If you're put on the ban list incorrectly, do you contact TWI? PBBans? EvenBalance?
In most cases you submit a support ticket to Even Balance about it. If it's also banned at PBBans we have an appeal system as well.
I've been doing some reading and there are wayyyyy too many people out there claiming false bans and then saying that EvenBalance makes no real effort to unban you. It's like talking to a brick wall from what I've read. Remember, I've never had any experience with PB, I'm just concerned I'm going to one day be a false-positive statistic.
I've been playing games with PunkBuster for a long time (Back to Soldier of Fortune II) and I've never been banned. I had a few restriction and outdated PB kicks but it's far from being completely problematic as some portrey it to be.
In most cases PB will simply kick you for using unsupported application.

That's a list of mass false positives that PBBans has removed over the years. Keep in mind that list is for all games that uses PunkBuster. In each case they were resolved within a few days.
VAC has false positives and they got reversed too.

So don't assume that if you get hit with a ban and you're not cheating that it's the end of the road.
