Bug Description

Using a automatic playlist with only unrated (rating=0) songs, rhythmbox will crash if you click on the songs rating quickly and repeatedly (songs will be removed from the list if their rating goes up). This is probably a race condition problem.

To reproduce the bug:
1) Make sure you have songs with zero rating (no stars)
2) Create an automatic playlist matching only zero rated songs (no stars).
3) Don't enable shuffle
4) Start clicking on the rating of the playing song and keep clicking until it crashes (about 10 to 20 songs on my machine). Clicking will bring up the song below it and remove the song from the list. If you click fast enough rythmbox will crash.

Misc info:
rythmbox 0.9.6
gstreamer 0.10
Ogg Vorbis music files

Here is a complete report from the "Problem report for" help program. Due to the ease with which this problem is recreated I havn't taken the time to install the debugsysms for the used program. And the problem can simply be avoided by clicking more slowely or simply turning on shuffle so it is impossible to click on song that just started playing.

Hopefully, this report does add something however.

The backtrace looks like a gst-plugins-base0.10 bug, reassigning. I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378436

Could you attach a crash file with that version? Does other people who had that still get the problem?
