Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.8.8-13
Severity: normal

When I add a new directory to my song library, Rhythmbox adds the new songs to 
my 
library at a pace of about two songs per second, while using 100% CPU.  I 
expected 
songs to be added at a pace of about a thousand songs per second.

I ran OProfile and saw that half the time is spent in 
"/usr/lib/libmad.so.0.2.1".  
Since I'm not playing any song while adding my directory to the library, I 
don't 
see why *any* time should be spent in the decoder library.

And if I look at what symbols are used in the mp3 decoder library, the top 
function is synth_half().  synth_half() is only called from mad_synth_frame(), 
which is only called from run_sync(), which is only called from 
mad_decoder_run(), 
which is described as "run the decoder thread either synchronously or 
asynchronously".

So Rhythmbox seems to spend a lot of time decoding songs instead of indexing 
them.  
This makes indexing slow.  Can you fix this so that Rhythmbox doesn't try to 
decode songs it's not playing?
