Hi, I've found a test case that makes brasero hang in a repetable way.

It is enough to perform the following steps:

1) open brasero
2) click on audio CD
3) go to a place where you have some mp3 files
4) select the first
5) holding shift, select the last

That sequence makes brasero hang. See the attached screenshot.

I've taken some system measurements after the hang and I can say that no
hardware resource is busy - i.e. no CPU, memory or IO activity. Brasero just
hangs indefinitely (after several minutes I killed it)

Pedro, let me know what are your thoughts.
