SUMMARY
Unpausing tracks playing in Elisa results in no audio output unless you scroll to another point in the track or click next/previous.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Install Elisa from the Ubuntu SNAP 
1. Mount an internal HDD (formatted as NTFS) as a labeled drive (basic data partition)
1a. Set drive to Mount at Startup using Disks (mine is a former Windows drive I labelled D, and mounted as /mnt/Ddrive)
2. Configure Elisa to prefer relative paths so it preserves the media library on boot, but turn off Scan for new music on startup (my music collection is vast and takes about an hour to scan, but I don't update it that often.)
3. From tracks, shuffle all
4. Play any music, and then click the pause button (n.b., all my tracks are mp3s)
4a. Wait for a short time - if you click pause again quickly it plays fine... but if you wait for several minutes, do other tasks etc, then this bug happens.
5. Click play, and the audio doesn't come through
6. Use the scrobbler (scroll bar) to click back a few seconds - or to any other point in the track and the audio suddenly works

OBSERVED RESULT
Every time I leave my music on pause for some time, upon unpausing by clicking the Play button, no audio comes through.

Additional info:
When I unpause a track, the scrobbler runs, but faster than it should... after about 8-10 seconds the audio playback resumes from the new timestamp.  It's almost like the audio output is paused until the track is re-read and seek catches up with the new timestamp - a few seconds on from where the audio was originally paused.
