Lyrics extension does not obey "Write metadata to files" preference

[HorstBort]

Binary package hint: banshee-community-extensions

1) 10.04
2) 1.6.0-1ubuntu5
3) If the extension is enabled, track files are changed, apparently to write the lyrics to the file. Also, a hiccup in playback happens.
4) If the Banshee preference "Write metadata to files" is not enabled, the extension should not do so.

Could you provide the output of "banshee --debug"? As far as I know, the lyrics
extension only caches the lyrics in ~/.cache/banshee-1/extensions/lyrics. This
is by design, and it not what is meant by "Write metadata to files".

The hiccup in playback is likely a separate issue, though I'm not sure about this.

Here's the output from "banshee --debug":

[1 Debug 13:52:46.167] Player state change: Loaded -> Playing

Though, md5sum of the file changed during playback:

b4ede045721d638dde7841dc3d027e90 02 - Resistance.mp3
b81b9202f62230757ff5399ad189d8ea 02 - Resistance-pre-lyrics.mp3

This does not happen with lyrics extension disabled. Hiccup occurs at the same time as debug line "Lyrics successfully written ...".

Indeed, lyrics are written to the file (see attachment).
