Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Rhythmbox claims to support gapless playback.  It does for the most
part, but on mp3's, it doesn't.  This is due to the design of mp3
frames.  Each frame is a predetermined length of time, and the last
frame is no exception, which causes a small silence at the end of each
song.  LAME has a workaround for this: embed a tag that tells a decoder
exactly how long the song should be.  iTunes, iPod, and libgpod support
this.  Rhythmbox neither makes use of this tag in its normal playback,
nor for syncing songs to an iPod.

The bug is present in all versions of Rhythmbox, in all versions of
Ubuntu.
