Well, that's true. It probably a deadlock of some kind. Create an empty file
~/.config/banshee-1/always-debug, restart Banshee, and and the next time it
hangs, run "killall -SIGQUIT banshee". After that attach ~/.config/banshee-1/log
here.

That being said, even if Banshee didn't deadlock, the situation wouldn't be much
better. Thing is, Banshee plays media files from that mount. If the mount hangs,
then it follows that your playback is going to hang, or in this case, based on
your logs, writing metadata changes back to file (presumably play counts). And
because it's hanging in the middle of a system call, you're also not going to be
able to quit and restart, because at least one thread will be completely stuck
(and unkillable).
