I regularly get this on my Nexus One (currently using Cyangenmod, but saw it on stock 2.3.4 too).
When pressing play on the widget after pausing the music some time ago, no sounds comes out. The app appears to think it's playing: it shows the track it thinks is playing, notification exists (but, interestingly, it says the previous track, not the one the main ui says), and the track appears "buffered" to about 20% in the ui. Even the last.fm website thinks it's playing. However, it never changes: I've left it playing a three minute song for 15 minutes, and nothing changes. I can sometimes get it to play by pausing, skipping, etc. But it's not reliable.
