What interests me is that the file lost sync. It seems like you might have a bad mp3 file, and the player is trying to recover. I would not have thought that would lock up the controls, though.

The file didn't lose sync; that's the normal message everyone gets before playback starts if it restarts in the middle of a track. Notice there are no timecodes before the sync message, only information that the player knows about before it starts playing.

Unfortunately I've no idea what the real problem is. It's a good start to see whether it still happens with a completely stock 2.0beta13 install.
