[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#495427: audacious: View Track Details doesn't always work

[David]

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-3
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hi. Very often, when I right-click on a track in the Playlist Editor,
and select "View Track Details" (or hit Ctrl+I), the track info window
doesn't come up.

In this case I have to restart Audacious, and then try again. It always
works then. The problem will come up again after playing a few more
songs (or just skipping to the next song a few times during playback).

Not sure if it makes a difference, but a lot of the music I play has
non-English characters in the filename and MD3 tag details.

Here is some output from Audacious when i ran it in the console and had
the problem:

===== OUTPUT ENDS =====

The "Failed to find mixer element: IEC958 Front" is probably because I
changed my sound card.

To get the above output, I started playback, and viewed track details
for a few songs (skipping betweent tracks).

The "Failed to find mixer element" message came up at the start of each
song.

When "view track details" worked, there was no console output. When it
stopped working I got the "GLib-GObject-WARNING" warning lines instead.
