Audacious is not XMMS nor BMP. However, to answer your question, the
controlsocket runs in another thread, which is likely the source of this
problem. You see, GTK2 and multiple threads using GTK2 doesn't work very well.
(Well, it works OK but you have to protect all operations with a giant lock.)

Anyway, we've switched to DBus which will fix the problem here. As I reproduce
this with audtool and Audacious 1.3, however, I would say the bug is either a
weird thread synchronization bug, or a bug in the XMMS panel plugin (seems
unlikely though. I'd go with synchronization bug, in which case, it probably
won't ever be fixed, sorry. I suggest porting the plugin to our DBus interface
in SVN and using that instead.).

Do note that we don't like bugs that are basically "it doesn't work like XMMS."
We are not XMMS, have no interest in being XMMS, nor wish to provide the same
functionality as XMMS. I hope that the switch to DBus will make this more
clear.
