Comment 6 for bug 253570

I ran that, but that log also included a complete listing of my library of songs and information about my file system layout. So I would have to read that log and remove the lines out of it before I'm going to post that here. I don't have time for that now, so please consider asking for a more specific debug or just ask me again and I will find the time to clean up the log. You can also send me a personal request because I am willing to send it to you personally via mail.

I'm currently on intrepid with rhythmbox 0.11.6.

It seems I can only reproduce the problem with cross-fade enabled and in an automatic listing. Because it is very probably a timing issue, I suggest placing your system under load when testing for this. (disk IO may help).

So here are some steps again:
1. Create an automatic playlist
2. Make sure cross-fading is enabled in the preferences
3. If possible, use Vorbis VBR files
4. Make sure there is some load on the system. Although this is not really needed, it may help in enlarging the window of opportunity.
5. While playing a song, type something in the search bar. Try different key strokes with different delays, use backspace if needed.

It may very well be that this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553230
is related to this problem, as it seems to do with song end signals and time problems when the crossfading is enabled.
