5349	Audio submission failing (DetachedInstanceError in test_audio)	Ben Sturmfels		"I'm seeing the following error in master (2a1082e3) when running tests:

I've chased it down to `mediagoblin/submit/lib.py:208`. Before this line, `user` is ok, but afterwards, it's detached from the SQLAlchemy session.

I've looked back through the version control history, and this error is occurring for me right back to when `test_audio` was added in `c41705bf`. That suggests that the error is related to an incompatible version of a dependency installed on my computer. I've attached the output of `pip freeze`.

This appears to not be related to #5323: Audio submission failing.
