Music stops and restarts when visualization is activated/deactivated

[tomzhi]

when user clicks View --> Show Visualizations, music stops and restarts from the beginning of the song
When user closes the visualization, music stops and then continues (like a hiccup).

This is due to how gstreamer handles adding and removing visualizations with playbin. The upcoming rewrite of our playback engine (unified_playback branch) should resolve this and allow us to seamlessly add and remove visualizations during playback.

Thanks for your quick reply, Aren!  I just found Exaile two days ago, and love it very much. After trying many xmms2 clients and Amarok, I found Exaile to be feature rich and fast. Amarok is great but I think it's getting too big and sluggish.

I am also helping to translate Exaile into Chinese. Hopefully can contribute more. Thank you for taking your time to convert your passion into something everyone can enjoy!!

Regards,
Tom

Closing, since version 0.3.x of Exaile does not support visualizations ATM. Please reopen if this issue occurs as soon as visualizations are back.
