Research direction

Start by reproducing the stall with the reported no-audio-device setup and compare verbose logging with --no-audio and --no-config, using the attached verbose.log as the reference. Trace the playback and logging entry points responsible for stalled progress; done means a clear stall indication appears in the log while normal playback behavior remains unchanged.
