Annoying bug!

It's switching the active audio app to Safari.
I don't think that is really a bug though, didn't they update Safari so that it can play audio in the background with iOS6?
I assumed it put down there what ever app you streamed audio through last? Youtube/podcast/music ect
Close your tabs, kill Safari, play some music through the Music app.
Reopen Safari, visit your normal pages (unless some of them include some kind of streaming component). See if the issue presents again.

Why the extra steps? Just playing the music app will switch it back.
(Assuming we've guessed his problem correctly, that is. Since we all had to guess who knows what the actual answer is!)
Just playing the music will switch it back, but his steps are for trying to figure out why it's happening in the first place. You want to have all the safari tabs closed and killed first so it doesn't switch back immediately when you open it. Then you can go to your normal sites and see what causes it to switch.
Partly because I assume that the OP was smart enough to try just playing some music, but I guess I shouldn't assume.
It is more thorough. WebKit and MobileSafari have some interesting bugs.
