Banshee Crashes at Track Transitions

[tokyo-joe]

Banshee crashes every time it completes playing one song and starts playing the next song in the list.
I am using Banshee too on Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit on the same box (multi-booted), but there is no such a problem on Ubuntu.

My system is Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon 64 bit.

For your reference, here is the output that appears when I start Banshee from the terminal.

Similar problem here. Doesn't crash after every song, but just about. It usually starts playing the next track and craps out a few seconds in. LM 15 + Cinnamon, 64-bit on a Dell E6320.
