Strawberry works. But then it doesn't. When I say it doesn't, I can click the arrow and pause buttons but nothing happens. I can still access the menu items. I can't replicate exactly what causes it to stop working, but it always does. Either through repeated use of the play controls, or opening and then closing the settings window (even if I don't change a setting). Quitting and relaunching the program does not help.

I use music programs for practicing an instrument, so I need to reliably start/stop/"rewind" songs.

I have started strawberry from the command line so I can view the STDOUT.

When I start the program and it works, here is the STDOUT. This captures starting the program at 12:41:06 and then starting playing Samba Pa Ti at 12:41:16 and then pausing or stopping (I forget) at 12:41:32

The later timestamps are when I tried later to see if the controls would do anything but they didn't. Even though the messages say "Pipeline state changed from "Paused" to "Playing"" nothing was playing.

So I walked away from the computer and busied myself with other things. When I came back much later, I see starting at 14:42:12 endless messages, all the same (I am just quoting one "stanza", this repeated dozens of times over the course of several seconds)

Again, this popped up with no input for me (I was out riding my bicycle!).

After repeating this group of messages dozens if not hundreds of times, I get this:

This says that song that I tried to start @13:25 finally started and was about to finish at 14:42:15!

And then it went on to play a Gordon Lightfoot song (although there may have been a delay there), but then it proceeded to go through the entire playlist, starting with a Marshall Tucker song. I don't know if sound was coming out (I was out of the house).

When I sat down to compose this post, I see that Strawberry is working well, ready to play the first song on the playlist. Don't know how long that will last.

Any suggestions for me to try?
