Bug Description

Trying to convert FLAC from CIFS mounted directory to local MP3.
In the first instance, it created the destination directories but no sound files, gobbling up one of the cores and doing nothing
In anohter test it created four MP3s bevore it locked up and utilized one core completely.
Sounds similar to

But is brand new for me, Used to work on 12.4 on this hardware.

When trying to set up the destination direcotey, it takes several attempts before the chosen directory is set.

Looks like this only shows up when queueing more than one directory tree.
If I only add one artist with one album everything is fine, but as soon as I add several the program hangs.

What exactly are the requirements to reproduce this? A specific number of files and/or directories?

And could any one of you attach the output of "soundconverter --debug" when reproducing the issue? Further, is it reproducible also with "soundconverter -j 1 -d"?
