Continue Playback after application restart takes a lot of time

[swilmet]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Exaile and have one track in the playlist.
2. Play the track, then pause in the middle.
3. Quit Exaile.
4. Restart Exaile and click on the Continue Playback button.

Expected Behavior

Continue Playback is quick to restart the track where it arrived (without "stuttering").

Current Behavior

Continue Playback sometimes takes a lot of time to restart the track.

This is especially true:

• for long tracks (e.g. 1 hour and the track is in pause in the middle).
• after a cold start of the application, e.g. after restarting the computer.

I think that I have this problem since the switch to PipeWire (so it's not really recent). Before, it restarted the track directly but with some sound "stuttering".

Environment

• Operating System and version:

Fedora Linux 40 (Workstation Edition).

• Exaile Version:

Exaile 4.1.3

GStreamer: 1.24.5 GTK+: 3.24.43 GTK+ theme: Adwaita Locale: en_US UTF-8 Mutagen: 1.47.0 PyGObject: 3.48.2 Python: 3.12.4

BTW, thanks a lot for having developed this great application, I use it since many years!
