App freezes when attempting to fast forward on slider

Description
The application is freezing (graying out on the desktop) when I attempt to click and drag the slider to a point-in-time of the recording. Forward or backward in time appears to make no difference.
I have to use System Monitor to kill the process (stop the process will not respond).
The problem occurs under these circumstances.
- The file is downloaded before the play starts.
- The file has played for a number of minutes with no pause or change to the slider. Usually it is over 10, though I have not made any exact measurements.
- The pause button has not been pressed, prior to the slider being adjusted with the mouse.
The problem has occurred with more than one podcasting source. I have not observed any network problems during the times it occurs.
The problem is sporadic and, once the application is killed via System Monitor or a command line kill, the application will respond normally if the file is started again. But the freeze can reoccur if the file is again played for a period of time without pause, etc.
