load music considered harmful?

[soupi]

sorry for the generic title.

I just finished debugging an issue where I used load to read a music file from disk and play it.
I also kept all the Music values I loaded in a Map.
I ran into all kinds of strange bugs, music jumping forward at a specific place,
trying to play music I already played wouldn't do anything after playing something else, music starting from the middle of the file, etc.

Then I thought that maybe the ByteString content of the file was garbage collected and/or overwritten or something. So instead of keeping a Map of Music I kept a Map of ByteString which is the result of readFile and I played music using playMusic Forever <=< decode. This fixed the issues I had.

Am I correct in my assumptions? Maybe the load API is problematic and should be removed?

I just wanted to share this so it might help others if they trip on these kind of bugs.

Thanks!
