I have removed the media player widget several month ago from my desktop because of this kind of bugs. I had some moments when I finished a call my media player began playing a random song or a part of my audio book. After a embarrassing moment (Ken Follett "The Pillars of the Earth" has some ambiguous moments - not funny at work!) I removed this widget completly from my desktop. And this was after the bug was marked as Fixed at the bugtracker.

I must admit... I have no idea.
But if this is possible, how should we ensure that Panucci is the first application that is reading and consuming this signal?

I would consider to remove this ******* **** **** (lovely) Media Player Widget from the Desktop and test it again. (I guess I need a Smiley with a halo! )

I'm afraid that this could be releated to the library Panucci is using. In this case there are not much possibilities...

Perhaps simply don't resume m4a files could be a solution?

I guess wo could modify Panucci again. If Panucci should resume the m4a playback, it is simply beginning again at the start of the file and after a second it is seeking back to the last position. Hmm... is something like this imaginable for you?

But I can already hear now the guys complaining about the sluggish beginning while resuming a m4a file. Hmm... I don't know.

And I have to look into how this could work. I'm still a noob at this kind of stuff.

No problem. The most of the work has thp already done. Without his work at Panucci 0.3.17 this wouldn't be possible for me to integrate into to the new branch.

I've already asked. I'm asking since months. But all I get back is: "surprise me", "I don't want anything" (YES, sure!) or "I have everything I want - I have you" - sooo, this kind of questions are not helpful. A exact statement (including ordering number and where I could get it) would be great! But I guess this year my own wish wouldn't come true. (again)
