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. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #581936 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581936 -- rhythmbox sound "skips" or cust out randomly for fraction of second https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
