Also, as another option, there is the app called "stickit!" which also creates a window to view media as well as youtube. This window can be resized as well as put in background so you can listen to music and do some other "task".
Split screen (or multi-pane) rules. I have been dreaming of this feature on tablets for years. I am glad that it is finally being demonstrated by a major OEM. It is sure to get picked up in a future version of android.

Incidentally, it is also possible to do the floating video window with the free (and awesome) DICE Player. I tend not to use the feature too often as it requires constant movement of the window to prevent obstruction of the background app, but it works well enough.
