[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 666520] Re: banshee goes unresponsive after starting any playlist

[Andrew Tinka]

* The errors relating to org.freedesktop.Avahi seem to be a red herring.
The same problem reoccurred when I was connected to a different network,
and the Avahi error wasn't there.

* Bug is intermittent, in that sometimes Banshee works properly.  But
when this problem occurs, it will continue occurring until the machine
is rebooted (logging out doesn't fix it).

3) Start any playlist (double-click on "Music", or "Unheard", etc)

4) Music starts playing.  Note that the progress meter (the slider near the top left corner) stays "Idle" with no time information.

5) A few seconds later, the window greys out.  UI is unresponsive.

6) When the song is finished, no further music plays.  UI still unresponsive.  Keyboard shortcuts for next song, pause, etc. are unresponsive.
