How do you determine that the bug is upstream in Gnome?

Are you suggesting that if I run rhythmbox under KDE, for example, that
this problem would disappear?

As I noted in the initial report, out of five other music players, this
bug only affects rhythmbox, so if it is a problem with Gnome, then it is
a peculiar problem that only seems to impact rhythmbox.  That seems to
make it a rhythmbox problem.

I would be happy to report the problem to the correct place.  However,
if the real cause of the problem is in Gnome, I do not know how you have
determined that, so I wouldn't really know what to report on the Gnome
side, other than "Hey, here is a problem that so far as I know only
affects rhythmbox, but they tell me it is really a Gnome bug."

So if you have direct knowledge of a mistake in the Gnome source code,
or of how Gnome fails to implement some behind-the-scenes protocol
correctly, then you are in a much better position to report the bug than
I am.

I just did a quick search, and the closest gnome bug I found was:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581936

However, I do not believe that this is the same problem.  The skips I am
refering to are not caused by any other activity (at least no other
obvious activity).  Opening windows, starting new applications, activity
in other applications, etc,, generally does not cause any skipping (but
maybe once in a great while).  The problem that I am describing happens
with rhythmbox in the foreground, and while I am not doing anything
else.

I will be happy to report the bug in Gnome, but if I link it here can
you followup with a comment explaining to them what the real problem is?
Alternatively, if you could report a bug in Gnome and link to it here, I
will be happy to followup with any useful diagnostics for reproducing
the problem and determining the cause.
