The SVN version has not yet hung up on me. However, it does occasionally
pop up a completely unhelpful error box (the one generated by
SongWatcher.error) and halt playback. I tried to hack up the logic in
player.py to get a more helpful error message, hoping that the GStreamer
'error' signal would trigger and I could use that, but it didn't work --
set_state() is returning gst.STATE_FAILED on one or other of the calls
from PlaylistPlayer.__load_song, and I can't find any more detailed
error indication.
Tangentially, I'd like to suggest rearranging the logic in
PlaylistPlayer.__get_song so that this bit
config.set("memory", "song", song["~filename"])
self.song = song
self.info.song_started(song)
self.volume = self.__volume
all happens before the call to __load_song. The error function will
undo most of it if __load_song fails, and it causes the GUI to advance
the this-is-the-current-song indicator to the track that caused the failure;
thus, when it happens, one can just push the play button again and it'll
(so far) pick up where it left off instead of on the previous song.

I'll try that next. What IRC channel, by the way?
