Bug Description

If I put a bunch of songs in the Play Queue, they seem to be randomly greyed out, even before they've been played. You can see that here: http://imgur.com/OLVT4Xf. Only the Beaming and Experimental Track songs have actually been played, with Pixel Party, Coyote, and breach breach breach greyed out prior to being played.

Now, I'm guessing that this is Banshee "shuffling" the queue, but it seems to ignore certain songs and never play them. If this is by design, I think it should be changed to where if shuffling is turned on, it will visually change the order of the songs and only grey out the already played ones.

Another seemingly side-affect of this is that if you have a bunch of songs in the queue and listen to an album through the last song in the queue from that album, it will jump to some random spot in the queue, removing & greying out a whole bunch of songs in front of it, even when shuffle is turned off via Playback > Shuffle > Shuffle Off.

As for getting stuck on songs, it's hard to re-produce because it seems to happen on a totally random basis. One way that you can get it happen some of the time is to add a bunch of tracks and then let them play for a bit or skip and it might start repeating 1-4 songs.

What I'm expecting should happen is that it will just continue to play down the queue, and since Shuffling is turned off, it will play the songs in the order I added them until the queue is empty, deleting them from the queue as they are played.

Sorry if this is bug report is confusing/lacking, I'm perplexed by the bug and its seeming randomness and really don't know how better to describe/reproduce it :(
