Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
This is a NEW situation, it has only occurred since some updates from
within perhaps the last month:
1) load Rhythmbox, play a track: the track plays fine, but no other alsa or
aoss-wrapped sounds will play; the other apps go through the motions of
playback, but no sound is heard. For example, a youtube will play the video,
but there is no sound.
2) stop Rhytmbox play, other apps can now play sounds, eg Firefox Flash-9 like
Youtube and aoss apps
3) press play on Rhythmbox, the play icon highlights, but the timetrack does
not advance and there is no sound.
4) unselect play, it will un-highlight, but clicking on it will not highlight
the play again
5) all selection controls and menu controls will work, but if you choose 'quit'
Gnome will say the app is not responding and ask if you want to kill it.
6) stop the other sound apps and Rhythmbox remains paralized, the play icon
will not respond to a click
7) if another app is already playing, eg Firefox playing a YouTube, if I start
Rhythmbox it will fail immediately, lock up and not play the selected track,
the icon highlights and dehighlights, and then responds no more.
8) while a Firefox YouTube is playing, other apps will play, only rhythmbox
appears to be locked out.
9) even if the Firefox YouTube is stopped, Rhythmbox still will not play. I
can close the YouTube tab, but it still does not allow Rhythmbox to play;
mpg321 will play no problem, just RB is locked out, even if run within aoss
this is a SERIOUS loss of functionality;RB cannot be used for background
listening while working because it interferes with all other sound apps,
and again, this is a new situation. Previously I could keep rhythmbox
running all day with its own mix on low and let other apps run freely,
there was no conflict.
Previously this lockup of the playback would happen sporadically but
only on startup; I thought it might be due to clicking the 'play' before
Rhythmbox had completely scanned all the drives for fresh content, but I
could never really prove that. Sometimes it would jam, most often it
did not, and when it jammed the quit (using the X icon in the gnome
frame) would say the app was not responding and ask permission to kill
it.
