Which version of Ubuntu and Banshee? Does it play anything or is it just certain filetypes? Can you attach the output of 'banshee --debug'?

I've been using Banshee on Gutsy for several months without problems. Does it crash for all media files or just certain bad actors?

The error shows that gstreamer is not happy with 64,000 sampling which is not a common sampling rate.

Also, does Rhythmbox or Totem (also GStreamer-using players) play the same files?

It would appear to hang on all media as I've sampled launching different files through the media library. As well, Rhythmbox and Totem play the same files without incident.

Can you try moving/renaming your ~/.config/banshee/banshee.db and import some tracks to a new database to see if the problem persists?

That's a good suggestion. I had banshee ball-up on me and I just wiped the database and imported again to start fresh. Fortunately, I didn't have many tracks at the time.

On a fresh database, the bug appears to reproduce itself after just 2 days.

Banshee 0.13.1 is a pretty old version. Could you try to reproduce this bug with 1.5.0? This version of Banshee is in the Banshee Unstable PPA: https://launchpad.net/~banshee-unstable-team/+archive/ppa. If you can, please produce the 'banshee --debug' output with the crash reproduced.
