Workaround for regular Crash setting (audio) file of player?

[David Bovill]

I'm working a lot with media again - and the last two days I get a crash
every 15 minutes when I set the filename of a player to various mp4 audio
tracks. I'd love a workaround as its slowing things up quite a bit.

I've seen this behavior quite a bit over the years with media and the
player. it happens erratically - so works well then after 5 or 6
successful attempts setting the audio file in the script crashes livecode.

Recipe:

   1.

   *set* the filename of me to audioFile -- the offending line

   2.

   audiioFile is one of several different m4a files (created using
   mergMicrophone)
   3.

   The filename is a long path
   4.

   No pattern regarding a particular audio file, or sequence I can detect

If anyone has a thought of a way to set an audio file that will work
without crashing... much appreciated.
