I can't find a reference to that filter name anywhere. Maybe this is a dumb question, but am I supposed to change the first argument (‘widget_text’)?

Doesn't make much sense outside theme code, does it? :P Andrew, do_shortcode($content) on widget content? Any widget content? Doesn’t make much sense outside theme code, does it? :P

Glad to learn about the priority considerations as well. Keep up the god work, I love your slogan :) Thanks for the tip man, I was actually looking for a hook on which I could run the ‘the_content’ filter on text widgets to get all its effects, but now that I think of it really I just wanted shortcode support so this works great (and you pointed out the right filter anyway).

However, your issue looks like the plugin doesn't use the shortcode API, but the filter API to emulate a shortcode (perhaps because there's been no shortcode API when the plugin was first created). Another plugin, <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpaudio-mp3-player/" rel="nofollow">WPaudio MP3 Player</a>, <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/292417" rel="nofollow">seems to be widget-enabled</a> though, so you might want to switch.
