[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 448533] Re: Banshee (sometimes) freezes on start playing

[Christoph Buchner]

i also observe freezes more often since about 2 weeks - can't listen to more than about 2-3 songs before banshee. current song also finishes playing. 
what i curiously have observed is that "kill -s QUIT $(pidof banshee-1)" unfreezes banshee again! can others confirm this?
it's quite annoying, to the point where i'm forced to look for alternatives. lately i can only listen to internet radio streams, they don't care if the banshee GUI is frozen. :D :-(

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: banshee

When I try to listen the first song, sometimes Banshee freezes. I can hear the song till the end, but I can't interact with Banshee window. So I have to kill Banshee and reboot it, and the second time I start it, it usually work normally.

This bug affected me also in 9.04 even if I reported it only now in 9.10 Beta.
All the packages have been updated.
