Bug#623357: rhythmbox: sporadically pauses and hangs one second into a new track

[David Banks]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.8-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

Seemingly randomly, when switching to a new track, Rhythmbox will sometimes
pause at 0:01 into the new track.  After this the interface will be frozen.
Sometimes I can simply press play again and the track will restart.  Sometimes
pressing play will cause the play button to change to its 'pushed down' state,
but the track won't actually continue to play, and the interface will hang for a
few seconds.  Switching to another track will always work, and switching back to
the same track after this also always works.

I would estimate this happens about 1 in every 50 songs, but that's just a rough
guess, there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it.  It always happens on a track
transition.

Cheers,
David
