If you play an audio file from Nautilus, your Nautilus window will be frozen
until the playback completes or is terminated. 

This occurs using all playback engines checked (XMMS and mpg123).

* REPRODUCIBLE: Always

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Point Nautilus to a directory containing at least one MP3 file.

2. Right-click on the file, and from the "Open With menu", select "XMMS" or
"mpg123". (Alternatively, just double-click on the MP3, if you have an MP3
player configured to play files by default.)



* ACTUAL RESULTS: 

 The MP3 file will play. However, your Nautilus window will cease to respond to
any user interface events, nor will it redraw when covered up or dragged
off-screen.

The Nautilus window will return to normal when the audio playback utility is
closed.

(FWIW, opening an image file in GIMP doesn't freeze Nautilus while GIMP is
open.)

I am unable to reproduce.

I will try this first thing tomorrow morning at Eazel.

I can't reproduce this on two systems at Eazel. I'm not sure why this is
happening at home. Will check further tomorrow.

Gene, this remains reproducible at home. I don't know enough about the audio
architecture to suggest what could be different. If you have a few minutes on
#nautilus this weekend, I'd appreciate your $.02 on areas worth checking.

Eli, maybe this has to do with how the MIME handler is configured on your home
system.  Just a guess ...

Do you think this is a 1.0 blocker?  I only ask because I can't reproduce it
either on my work or home system.

Andy, can you reproduce this?

If it can't be reproduced anywhere else (I can't), please feel free to mark it
as a 1.2 bug
