Music player can get into a state where tapping on a track doesn't start playing it

[Brendan Donegan]

In the latest version of the music app (com.ubuntu.music 2.0.745), I can get the app into a state where it doesn't start playing tracks when you tap on them. To reproduce this we need to run the autopilot test suite a number of times: 'for i in `seq 10`; do autopilot3 run music_app -f xml -o music$i.xml; done'. At some point the tests should start failing and when we go to start a track in the music player (outside of autopilot running), then it loads the track in Now playing but the initial state of the track is Paused. Tapping on the Play button also does nothing.

Hi Brendan! Thanks for the bug report! Do you know if rebooting helps this? Also, it'd be interesting to know if other audio playing apps stop working. I suspect something might be happening that is causing media-hub to refuse additional clients--or maybe there is a failure somewhere else on the audio stack.

Rebooting certainly helps, but I haven't checked the other scenario yet.
Maybe you could reproduce the bug and check that? Kill two birds with one
stone!
