Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lastfm

On my Maverick amd64 system, launching Last.fm (lastfm package version
1:1.5.4.26862+dfsg-5) causes a message box titled "Plugin Listener
Error" to be displayed with the message:

Last.fm was unable to start accepting tracks from the plugin for your media 
player.
Details: Accept socket connection failed. Socket error: 4

A screenshot of the error is attached to this report. No external audio
player is running when this error occurs, but I rarely have last.fm and
another audio player running at the same time, so this is not evidence
that the error cannot occur when an external player is running. Note
that this error only happens occasionally; most of the time I launch
Last.fm, there is no other audio player running, and this error message
is not displayed. The audio player I use most often, audacious2, doesn't
use the last.fm application to scrobble tracks to the last.fm service
(it uses its own self-contained plugin). Dismissing the error message by
clicking OK yields a functional Last.fm (at least for streaming tracks).

If this error message is not erroneous, then it seems to me that it
ought to display a message that is more informative to people who are
not familiar with the Last.fm player's internal workings.
