After scratching my head over this, I finally applied another hack on top of my hack -- in the timer callback that updates the progress bar, I check whether playback has gotten "stuck" (we're in "play" mode, but playback has not progressed for 2 timer callback ticks), and force playback of the next track to begin if so.

Congratulations on keeping the true intent and spirit of the word "hack" alive!

It's extremely lightweight and works fine for me, but I can understand if it doesn't have the right featureset for you like replay gain (although the website for the project indicates that replay gain is supported, you might want to see if it does what you want).

I don't use a lot of advanced features, but it's by far the most trouble-free player I've ever used (in contrast to various bugginess and non-determinism every time I've tried a graphical one other than VLC).

You can say that five times over.

Amarok apparently ignored duplicate tags (displaying only one of each type even if multiple ones were present), while Audacious tries to display them all (resulting in everything getting displayed twice); so I didn't even realize the files were mis-tagged until I tried to load them into Audacious.
