Emilio,

Thanks for taking a look at this so quickly.  I spent some more time
trying to figure out how to repro the bug and it looks like it's
timing-dependent.  You have to play the file while decibel's file
explorer is scanning the directory tree (which in my case takes a
minute or so).  If you wait until the scan ends then decibel will try
to play the file, and it won't play but it won't lock up, either.

I don't know how to get decibel to recognize midi files.  It seems to
know something about m4a files right out of the box - it identifies
them as being playable.  I copied one of solfege's midi files from
/usr/share to my music folder but decibel didn't show it in the
explorer tree.

I re-encoded /usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav as an m4a so we
wouldn't have to worry about licensing:

I still need to try this.

Thanks,
