Bug Description

I'm using Rhythmbox on Ubuntu 13.04.
If I pause the music, wait for a short while, then un-pause the music, it instead seeks ahead very rapidly, silently. When the current song end is reached (in just a couple of seconds) it will move to the next track and rapidly seek straight through it as well.

If I pause again, then wait a few seconds, and un-pause, the player UI freezes entirely, and I have to use the command line to kill rhythmbox.
