Comment 8 for bug 620430

The linked branch lp:~marienz/ubuntu/maverick/rhythmbox/fix-crash-on-random-with-mpris might fix this. My ppa has an amd64 build of that branch (see https://launchpad.net/~marienz/+archive/ppa/+build/1930205 ), but I cannot test it and the i386 one is still pending.

Please do not add my entire ppa, because there is some weird stuff in it. This rhythmbox build might be useful to some though.

(it bulletproofs rb_shell_player_get_playback_state instead of fixing the call, because being able to pass NULL for either shuffle or repeat seems generally convenient).
