This is still broken. Looking at <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2009326> where I saw someone had posted this bug it may well be that a section of code that is #if 0'd out due to not being updated for some other changes.
It would be great to get this updated. All I wanted to do was log song titles on a stream so as to track down the artist and title of a song I've been loving. It just started playing though so my immediate need is now moot ;) .
