Comment 84 for bug 355998

I ran into this as well. Patching and compiling the source package fixed it, although I think this is a little too much for less experienced users to go through just to use their mp3 player. As such I've uploaded a patched version to my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mrooney/+archive/ppa, so if anyone wants to try that and can confirm the fix, I'll add it to the description.
