I had the problem when using Banshee and the workaround I posted 3 months ago was to disable 'Gapless Playback' in Banshee settings. I've just re-enabled that feature and retested and songs have played now for around 40 mins without interruption.
So in other words I can't reproduce the bug now, I guess one of the updates in the meantime has fixed it (for Banshee at least, I can't say anything about people using other players).
