I've been noticing brief hangs lately, but I've never quite pinned it
down to the Scrobbler... The plugin is much much better at doing async
submission than it used to be, but there is still a window where it can
block for a few seconds. The block is supposed to be at most five
seconds, which should be long enough to be covered by all the players
buffers except the original SliMP3. However your trace shows that block
lasting more like 9 seconds (it's the interval between the "Trying to
connect" line and the "connected"). Any perl wizards fancy taking a
look at this? I've never been able to get rid of this window, try as I
might.

If you are experiencing mid-track drop-outs, you can turn off async
submission. The plugin will then submit synchronously (which can take a
long time) but will do so between tracks rather than in the middle.
Might be less annoying, depending. See the readme to see how to do
this.

Also - to answer the original question - the plugin keeps a list of any
tracks for which submission has failed. It's almost human readable: look
for a file called PendingSongList_userid. It's in /tmp on Linux, not
quite sure where it ends up on Windows... If that accumulates tracks
then the submissions haven't been succesful - but the plugin will keep
trying.
