Bug Description

With bgplaylists if an alert sounds, the playback stops and the queue is lost

What happened:
1) Start playing a queue of music
2) Take a screenshot/take a photo in the camera app with audio enabled
3) Notice that the music sometimes ducks, but ends up stopping and after a few seconds the queue is cleared!

What was expected to happen:
At step 3 for the the music audio to be 'ducked', but continue playing and the queue to remain intact.

For this test case:
1) start music app, play a song
2) switch to camera
3) take a photo
4) at that point the music/queue stops/empties in the second
5) switch back to music
6) close both apps

The media-hub.log pastebins for the old and new app:
old app - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14496280/
new app - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14496300/

In the case of the new app, after file:///system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg is played from the camera-app, the music is stopped and the queue is cleared.

So during further testing we have found 3 different cases, from different alerts.

1) with an SMS alert or an alarm the music kept going and seemed fine
2) a telegram notification caused the music to stop, but the queue didn't empty (it remained intact)
3) a camera shutter sound/screenshot sound caused the music to stop and the queue empty

Turns out that, the queue emptying is due to mediascanner2 reporting that tracks have changed, then when the music-app checks that the tracks still exist in the queue, it was giving urls with file:// at the start (urls coming direct from qtubuntu-media playlist) causing mediascanner2 to tell us that they don't exist. Which then meant the music-app removed all the tracks and therefore the playback stopped.

With that fixed in the music-app, there is at least one case where the audio still stops (taking a screenshot) this appears to be due to the screenshot audio using the incorrect audio role (it should be using alert).

Therefore this bug is now invalid, and I'll report the two bugs found (mediascanner2 not accepting file:// and screenshot using the wrong role).
