Public bug reported:

GNOME Mplayer appears to be unable to open a second music folder without
running out of control.

What should happen is this:

Use GMplayer to play music in Folder A.
Stop playback and use the GMplayer menus to open music Folder B.
Listen to music in Folder B.

What actually happens:

GNOME Mplayer opens and plays music Folder A perfectly well.

But stop that music and use the GMplayer menu to open music Folder B.
GMPlayer does not open selected Folder B. Neither does it play the music
in selected Folder B.

Instead, it plays two tracks from music Folder A simultaneously. These
tracks were not selected for play. And since they are playing together
the sound is garbled. Moreover, there is only one GMplayer window open,
so pressing <pause> or <stop> brings only one of the simultaneously
playing tracks to an end. One of the rogue tracks continues playing with
no apparent means of being stopped.

Even closing the Mplayer window, so there are no visible instances of Mplayer open, does not stop the rogue track playing.
What's worse is that when the runaway track completes, GMPlayer moves to the next track and starts playing two tracks simultaneously again! Selected Folder B gets no apparent attention. But with so many tracks playing already, this is probably just as well.
