bug #978604 is also a bit similar (which blames pulseaudio), different reports mention banshee also having the issue so it might well be either a gstreamer or pulseaudio issue
Jamie, Bryce, since you get the issue do you think you could report the bug upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gstreamer having a rhythmbox --debug log and a maybe a GST_DEBUG=:5 rhythmbox log when hitting the bug would be useful bug #927742 is also similar ** Also affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu Precise) Milestone: None => precise-updates -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/921071 Title: daap served files sometimes stop playing when going from an mp3 to an ogg Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gstreamer0.10” source package in Precise: New Status in “rhythmbox” source package in Precise: New Bug description: After upgrading to 12.04, rhythmbox will sometimes stop playing daap files, only to after a few minutes start playing a different file again. Ie, if I connect to a mt-daapd server running lucid with rhythmbox on precise, I can play individual files fine. I have selected to have songs play in random order, and rhythmbox will continue to the next song fine. Occassionally audio will stop in one of the songs and then minutes later it will start up again (with no user interaction) in another song. When it does stop, I can click to fast forward to another song and it works ok. This does not seem to happen with local files (I played them for hours with no interruption), only daap served files. I have tried to correlate this with a problem with networking in precise, but do not see any messages problems in /var/log/syslog that would indicate a problem. Rhythmbox can play a mixture of ogg and mp3 files fine (ie, it is not a codecs issue). There is nothing in .xsession-errors when this occurs. I tried to strace rhythmbox at the time of the problem, but couldn't figure out what was happening. This worked fine in 11.10 and earlier.
