Spotify for Linux; huge .xession-errors

My ~/.xsession-errors is a monster that eats my disk space, and it's Spotify's fault. It grows up to 20 GB with error messages from Spotify. Always the same line:

fixme:ntdll:NtQueryInformationProcess (process=0xffffffff) Unimplemented information class: ProcessDebugFlags

I saw a solution online: symlink .xsession-errors to /dev/null! I might do that. But there's still a bug somewhere that I hope will be fixed.

In other Spotify-related news, I just bought a premium account to get rid of the annoying ads. A happy side-effect is that I could use Despotify or Jotify (which looks better) instead of running Spotify through Wine. Too bad Jotify doesn't even have the most basic documentation, so I have no idea how to run the program.

Intermission 2: Rhythmbox / Gstreamer bug

Rhythmbox keeps going silent or freezing for no apparent reason, after playing a few songs. After a restart it works again. I've had a similar problem with Spotify (through Wine) for some time, but Rhythmbox has only done this after I installed Ubuntu 9.10.

So I've filed a bug (possibly for the first time!)
Edit: Here's the bug in Bugzilla - filed by someone with the same issue.


Here's the error thrown by Rhythmbox:

(rhythmbox:3886): GStreamer-WARNING **: Element bin2 already has parent

(rhythmbox:3886): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed

Maybe it's supposed to be a Gstreamer bug, I hope some friendly developers can help me sort it out.


Edit:

When Spotify goes silent, this is the message in the console (repeated endlessly):

err:wave:wodPlayer_WriteMaxFrags Error in writing wavehdr. Reason: Input/output error

Googling it doesn't give much insight... Maybe another bug to file? The question is what package to file it for.
