Cyrillic in the path to the audio leads to no playback

[alexlnkp]

Linux.

I have a symlink for my Music etc folder called Всё для треков и тд, if i drag n drop music from the Music etc - it works perfectly, even if the filename of the audio itself is in Cyrillic. However, if i drag n drop music from the symlink Всё для треков и тд - the audio just glitches out and no visualization happens at all.

I assume this is an issue with Cyrillic in the path to the file specifically, not the links. After long testing i found out that any combination of symlinking audio and the path to the audio if the file's path is not in Cyrillic leads to standard behavior.
