Listen crashed on reproduce a song in command line

[Vicente Ruiz]

Binary package hint: listen

When I try launch listen to reproduce a song in command line, it crash.

Output:

$ listen --play /home/user/song.mp3
No musicbrainz support (musicbrainz2 missing)
No Audio cd support (musicbrainz2 missing)

    ret = client.msg_send("add",("play",self.convert_args_to_uris_string(self.options.file_to_play)))
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'msg_send'

If Listen is opened and I execute same command, Listen reproduce it fine.

Output:

$ listen --play /home/user/song.mp3
['file:///home/user/song.mp3']
Command successful

Listen not recognize a relative path, you must indicate a full path. For example

$ cd
$ listen --play song.mp3
['file:///usr/lib/listen/song.mp3']
Command successful

(/usr/lib/listen/song.mp3 file doesn't exist)

I have similar problems with other arguments. For example:

$ listen --next

    ret = client.msg_send("control",("next",""))

same here on Intrepid as well. I copied one song and renamed it somefilesomewhere.mp3, a valid .mp3 file

 listen --play /home/shirish/somefilesomewhere.mp3

This might be related also: When I run "listen --device=/dev/scd0" or "listen -d /dev/scd0" I get this reply:

$ listen -d /dev/scd0

And yes, /dev/scd0 does exist. In fact, it is what %d translates to in auto command to play audio CDs.
