not that it helps at all but afaik this is a _very_ old bug. if you
are using the spider it's because it doesn't handle new
streams. basically gstreamer doesn't handle setting the location on
the pipeline to a new stream and playing again afaik. this is why in
gst-player we NULL out the entire pipeline and recreate it when we
switch to a new song. need to be fixed :-)
