Hi, I confirm the bug under Mint Qiana, Banshee 2.6.2, playing CDs. Disabling gapless playback seems to solve it. I noticed the following in syslog:
Sep 2 09:19:56 bureau pulseaudio[1756]: [alsa-sink-ALC889 Analog] ratelimit.c: 1859 events suppressed Sep 2 09:19:56 bureau pulseaudio[1756]: [alsa-sink-ALC889 Analog] protocol-native.c: Failed to push data into queue Sep 2 09:19:56 bureau pulseaudio[1756]: message repeated 10 times: [ [alsa-sink-ALC889 Analog] protocol-native.c: Failed to push data into queue] Sep 2 09:22:54 bureau pulseaudio[1756]: [alsa-sink-ALC889 Analog] ratelimit.c: 100 events suppressed Sep 2 09:22:54 bureau pulseaudio[1756]: [alsa-sink-ALC889 Analog] protocol-native.c: Failed to push data into queue -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978604 Title: Banshee/Rhythmbox regularly stop playing audio when left on in the background Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “pulseaudio” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: If Banshee or Rhythmbox is left playing in the background they will randomly stop playing in the latest builds of Ubuntu 12.04. Starting a new piece of music usually fixes the problem. If left to its own devices, the music will start playing again at some random time, at some random position. This problem exists on both my desktop machine (custom built Intel machine) and my laptop (Macbook 5,1). It has been happening for several months now. I became frustrated enough to load up pulseaudio in debugging mode. The log shows that when the music player just finishes playing one piece, and tries to start the next piece, you see something like this: ------------------------------- ( 335.399| 34.388) D: [alsa-sink] sink-input.c: Requesting rewind due to corking ( 335.400| 0.001) D: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: Requested to rewind 65536 bytes.
