Bug Description

Description of the problem:
When holding down enter on a particular track (presumably causing it to start and stop a lot) rhythmbox will either segfault or freeze.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start
rhythmbox .
2. Go to Music -> Import File...
3. In the window that appears press Ctrl-L so the location bar is visible and in the text area put /usr/share/example-content/fables_01_01_aesop.spx . Click the Open button at the bottom right.
4. Click on fables_01_01_ae... so it is highlighted.
5. Press and hold enter for five or so seconds.

Expected results:
Music to start playing, interface to remain responsive.

Actual results:
No music plays, interface will become unresponsive and stop drawing itself or program will segfault and crash.

How reproducible is the problem?
The problem is reproducible every time.
