Public bug reported:
Whenever heavy traffic starts on my network, Rhythmbox will abruptly
stop playing audio streams. The traffic in question may be local data
transfer or (mostly large) downloads.
The same happens to local audio streams managed by pulseaudio. A data
transfer starts and the stream very much immediately cuts out.
Typically, rhythmbox will pops up a dialog saying "server does not
support seeking". I can usually resume playback but during longer data
transfers/downloads, it will frequently cut out again.
I have tried replacing the onboard audio chip with a discrete ASUS DX
card. This does not make any difference.
What does work is manually restricting download speeds using a download
manager. However,, not all network traffic is controlled by such a
manager. Something trivial - say, installing a firefox or a gnome-shell
plug-in - has been enough for an audio stream to die instantly.
