I faced the same problem. I guess gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio (0.10.16-1ubuntu3) causes it. Because after fresh install karmic beta, and $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio then this issue occurred.
I'm afraid some of the below changes cause this issue. gst-plugins-good0.10 (0.10.16-1ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low * backported debian change: * debian/patches/000{1,2}-equalizer*.patch: + Patches from upstream GIT to fix equalizer in stereo mode and to use better filters for the first and last band. * debian/patches/00[1-20]-pulse*.patch: + Patches from upstream GIT to improve PulseAudio plugin and fix some major issues, like decreasing the volume after every track in some cases. * debian/patches/70_latency_update_returns_null.patch: - the change is in the new version -- Sebastien Bacher <seb...@ubuntu.com> Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:31:24 +0200 ** Package changed: ubuntu => gst-plugins-good0.10 (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gst-plugins-good0.10 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Disapearing sound when dropping a video on totem (already playing) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456644 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gst-plugins-good0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
