I just upgraded to 13.10 and I am having the same problem. It is exactly what comment #48 describes. It also happens if I play a playlist using Totem. It seems to happen always to some specific songs, in a consistent way (e.g. i'm unable to play more than 5 seconds of "Led Zeppelin - Immigrant song").

Crossfade doesn't solve the issue for me.
