Confirming that this problem exists on Mint Petra, Banshee 2.6.1-3, pulseaudio 1:4.0-0ubuntu6.
Same behavior - banshee will move to a new track, play a fraction of a second, then stop. Play/pause button is ineffectual. Grabbing the time slider and jiggling it starts playback. Turning off gapless playback has so far worked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978604 Title: Banshee/Rhythmbox regularly stop playing audio when left on in the background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/978604/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
