Audacious freezes when playing mp3 from a smb share mounted with cifs fs

[malheum]

Hello,

audacious, the musik player, freezes totally and reproducibly when I try to play a mp3 file which resides in a directory mounted on a filesystem of type cifs (i.e. a samba share/windows share).

I am using LM13 Maya 64 bits, Mate desktop.

However when the filesystem in question is mounted with the noserverino option (see man mount.cifs) then everything works fine.

Shameless cut&paste from the man page:
       noserverino
           Client generates inode numbers itself rather than using the actual
           ones from the server.
           See section INODE NUMBERS for more information.

I don't know why audacious freezes with inode numbers from the server and works with locally generated inode numbers.

And I strongly suspect that this problem also exists in upstream ubuntu 12.04. Can somebody maybe verify ?

The mount cmd line that works is this one:

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/musik /mnt/musik -o rw,uid=myuser,gid=mygroup,nosuid,noserverino,nodev,noexec,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0644,credentials=nas_credentials.txt

Leave out the noserverino option and then audacious will freeze.

Have same problem on 13.04 Ubuntu, running /etc/fstab with "//192.168.1.71/music /home/doug/Shares/music cifs guest,uid=1000 0 0" to mount. However, freeze happens when double-clicking on new song in playlist or adding song to playlist while other song is playing. Resolves itself after about 1 mnute and continues normal op. All subsequent songs will freeze in same manner after one song ends. Would possibly be useful to note I'm using JACK thru PulseAudio. Also noticing frequent dropouts (buffering), but have same problem during playback on other players using JACK.
