[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1015115] [NEW] playback hangs every few songs

[Paul Smith]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Banshee because I need Amazon download integration (plus all
my ratings etc. are in Banshee).

So I have a playlist based on my highest-rated songs.  I double-click it
to start playing and I have random sort enabled.  Every 3rd or 4th song,
after it's done playing the previous song and switches to the new song,
the playback hangs: it just doesn't play anything.  The timing slider
doesn't move, nothing plays.  Banshee is still in play mode, not paused.
I can click the pause/play button as many times as I want but nothing
happens.

However if I click on the playback slider and drag it slightly, then the
song starts playing and continues on working just fine... until a few
more songs when it gets stuck again.  This only ever happens right when
a new song is started: it never happens in the middle of a song.  Rinse,
repeat, forever.
