I've found 2 potential issues while testing this branch on Windows.
1) Other media players can play this file:
http://www.kozco.com/tech/organfinale.wav (linked from
http://www.kozco.com/tech/soundtests.html) Mixxx will load and analyze
this file but playback is silent. The waveform is empty also, as you would
expect from a silent track. Note that this also happens with the master
branch of Mixxx.
2) I ran auto-DJ for 16+ hours and then tried to close Mixxx, but it hung
(for at least an hour before I noticed and killed it). The last message in
the debug output was either "Deleting HSS1394 devices" or "Deleting HID
devices". I guess I should have written it down. The gdb did not give me a
backtrace so I will have to figure that out before I try to reproduce it. I
don't know if this one also happens in the master branch.
