Interesting. So your soundcard claims to have MIDI devices, but flails around wildly if we try and use them. CFLAGS & LDFLAGS make sense, so we're probably looking at a driver/hardware quirk here. What soundcard is in use please?

I believe this is in fact a playlist thread hang that has been fixed in Audacious 2.0; an alpha1 developer preview is now in portage. You'll have to unmask it to test.
