Hardy 8.04: Audacious Not Launching Anymore

[meding]

Binary package hint: audacious

The other day my audacious had been working, but when I tried to play a new song, the program closed and now will not launch anymore.

I do not have the audacious-crossfade plugin installed, which seems to be the usual cause from other posts. I have used the synaptic package manager to uninstall and then reinstall with no success.

~$ dpkg -l audacio*

Is this still an issue? Removing everything with apt-get purge can help as well as deleting ~/.config/audacious.
