It seems like rhythmbox damages the files while causing "error while saving song information". After a fresh install of Ubuntu Maverick with Rhythmbox 0.13.1 on a new multicore laptop I experienced the same bug again on a freshly oggenc-encoded .oga file.
After that I checked the file playback. It played in rhythmbox, but it failed in totem. So I checked the freshly encoded file with ogginfo: ogginfo /home/suu/srv/music/repositories/1/items/1021/13.oga Processing file "/home/suu/srv/music/repositories/1/items/1021/13.oga"...

After checking my complete collection of 20000+ .oga songs with ogginfo i found 5 old defect files. They all were playable in rhythmbox, failed to play in totem and showed the same errors in ogginfo. ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Rhythmbox: Error while saving song information.
