>From the log file, it appears that playback paused for file
/home/einar/Music/music/windows-music/EWHK.m4a after 1 sec.

You can try the following steps to figure where the issue is:

1. Rhythmbox ( RB ) uses gstreamer backend for playing audio files. This
step confirms if the problem is with gstreamer or RB. Run the following
commands from the gnome terminal.

$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-tools
$ gst-launch-1.0 playbin 
uri="file:///home/einar/Music/music/windows-music/EWHK.m4a"

This should play the audio file. If this doesn't work, the issue is with
gstreamer, not Rhythmbox.

2. If the above step goes fine, the issue is with Rhythmbox. Ubuntu
16.04 LTS ships with RB 3.3. This is quite old. Try RB 3.4.2 which is
the highest version supported by 16.04. Run the following commands from
the gnome terminal. This should take ~ 15 mins.

Build Rhythmbox 3.4.2 from source
==================================

$ sudo apt-get build-dep rhythmbox
$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox.git
$ cd rhythmbox/
$ git checkout tags/v3.4.2 -b v3.4.2
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ shell/rhythmbox --version

Start Rhythmbox 3.4.2
=====================

$ shell/rhythmbox

Try playing /home/einar/Music/music/windows-music/EWHK.m4a now. If the
audio gets stuck again, list the exact steps for reproducing the bug and
attach output of "shell/rhythmbox --debug" from 3.4.2.
