1) I know battery life is poor, but should it be so bad that when I'm listening to streaming audio that it sucks battery faster than it can charge?

Yes. You are using the device's radio AND (depending on the type of streaming media) playing using the media player or a 3rd party app. If it's video that you're streaming, the backlight is probably on steady. There probably isn't much more (other than talking on the phone at the same time) you could do to strain device resources like the battery.
While we do expect that of our devices, if the power consumption exceeds the charging rate, then of course it will drain even while charging, albeit at a slower rate. Are you charging via USB (500 ma), a 3rd party charger (e.g. a Moto Razr charger (500 ma) or are you using the BlackBerry charger that came with your phone (700 ma)?

2) My speakerphone is no longer as loud as it used to be. It's turned all the way up, but only half as loud as it has been. I think I used to have audio boost turned on, but I don't think it's working. Any ideas?

Have you done any OS upgrades? And have you read the posts regarding taking the back off the phone while playing an mp3 and testing a part that may be blocking / pressing against the speaker? (this does not involve disassembling the device, just taking the battery cover off).

3) If you have a specific theme loaded, and change the background image, then everytime you select that theme, the new background image returns. Anyway to get the default background back?

Depends on your OS. In 5.0, you reset it from Options, Theme. IIRC, in 4.6, you can reset it within Media, Explore.
