Despite fixes in OTA10, there is still an edge case where a file with a '#' symbol in the path will not play correctly

[Neil McPhail]

See comment #26 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1449790

This doesn't seem to be fixed 100% in OTA10:

1) Play a track without a "#" in the path from the music app
2) Click the "Search" area in the "Songs" tab, and search for your track with a "#" in the path
3) select the track - instead of playing the new file with the "#" in the path, the original track will be restarted

Much appreciated popey for trying it out and the detailed log disclosures.
