Re: [Bug 239757] Re: Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA
This bug is fixed in intrepid (and jaunty). For hardy, you may try installing libflashsupport, but it may be unstable for you (may crash your browser). The best option is to use backports of libasound2, libasound2-plugins, and adobe-flashplugin. In the latter case, you will need to remove flashplugin-nonfree and libflashsupport. -- Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I also confirm this bug. In my case the issue is between Amarok and Firefox/Flash 9 plugin. Depending on what was started first the other didn't work. I tried the suggestion of installing libflashsupport and the issue is solved.

[Bug 239757] Re: Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA
I installed libflashsupport, but while Rhythmbox is playing aoss-wrapped
sound apps still do not play; they go through the motions, but still no
sound comes out. Audacious will not play (failed audio output), but
mpg321 WILL play, although it first complains that
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
ALSA snd_pcm_open error: Device or resource busy
I tried adding this to my .asoundrc to see if perhaps the aoss routing might be
off
pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "dmix" }
also tried hw0,0 but it still does not work with rhythmbox, and after
closing rhythmbox, aoss still will not run although mpg321 will.
could this be a gstreamer bug?

I would like to confirm that I was having this problem, and installing libflashsupport seems to have fixed it. (the first time it happened to me, I tried playing a file in RB while a flash 9 video was playing, and it completely brought down the OS-- couldn't even SSH in). -- Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This is very easy to reproduce here : 1. Launch firefox 2. Play a song in rhythmbox 3. Pause the song in rhythmbox 4. Go to youtube and play a video 5. Pause the video on youtube 6. Resume the song playback in rhythmbox <- this fails and you need to kill rhythmbox.

[Bug 239757] Re: Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA
I would like to confirm this bug too. I first experienced it when I upgraded to Hardy (I updated to Intrepid and it is still buggy). I think it is related to the flash plugin. I noticed that I have playback problems in rhythmbox only when Firefox is running (not all the time, probably when there is or there was flash running). The symptoms are the sames as the bug reporter's. I double-click on a track to play it, no sound and the progress bar does not move. I have to close/kill rhythmbox, close firefox, open rhythmbox again and now playback is working. This happens really often. I would be happy to provide more specific information (or make some tests on your behalf) if someone is willing to fix this annoying bug. -- Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 239757] Re: Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA
Just to make a note, I am experiencing the same bug (also running Ubuntu Hardy). Symptoms identical to those reported by teledyn. RB will not start playing a song if any other app has engaged ALSA first (another player, firefox when viewing pages with sound, anything). If I start any other alsa-using software first (tested w/ mplayer, audacious, and firefox 3 beta), then RB will not play, keeping the tracker at 00:00. Other apps don't conflict with each other, but they all conflict with RB. However, if I start RB as soon as I boot up, then it will monopolize alsa and no other app is able to play any sounds. If I then close RB and start another app (audacious), that app can play. If I then close the other app and restart RB, RB will not play. I also suspect it's a recent ubuntu update, as rhythmbox worked just fine until June 12 or 13. -- Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 239757] Re: Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA
In Ubuntu 8.04, I have System/Preferences/Sound -- notice the slashmarks, the way everyone in the known universe signifies menu paths -- and there is no 'sounds', and under 'sound' there is no "audio and video" only Devices, of which the Sound Events says autodetect; I don't think this is at all the right place, it appears to deal with sound icons in the desktop. as stated before, I am using alsa and all other apps, including but not restricted to Flash 9, work fine. but the use of any other alsa app is blocked by Rhythmbox, and if they are in use when Rhythmbox is invoked, the program hangs on the playback switch, needing a kill signal to stop it. Audacious, on the other hand. works flawlessly, even with Flash-9 videos running; this was the same with Rhythmbox until only very very recently, which is why I suspected that some recent update, whether of rhythmbox or of Ubuntu in general, has broken it. It is suspicious that only Rhythmbox is affected, but to be fair, I have not exhaustively tried every possible combination on ever sound app available with Ubuntu, I have only tried mplayer, firefox/flash-9, audacious, mpg321, timidity and fluidsynth, and all of these work fine with each other, but none of these will share the audio system with Rhythmbox. -- Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

you don't have a really constructive attitude there "system, preferences, sounds, audio and video" describes how to access the property dialog you don't seem able to find on your installation you should have 3 menus available, system is one of those, it has a preferences category which has a "sounds" entry, click on this one, in the dialog one option is "audio and video" -- Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 239757] Re: Rhythmbox jams after other apps use ALSA
Geez get a grip man. I'm not surprised you get hundreds of bugs every day. I have solved my problem ... by switching to Audacious. "audio and video preference"?? wtf is that? Pardon my alarm, but do you have any notion of just how many preference dialogs are contained in the average Linux system? What do you want, chipsets and kernel drivers? and what does my video preference have to do with this? Rhythmbox only works at certain color depths or screen dot pitches? I was also under the impression that the "report bugs" menu item in the Rhythmbox Help menu would include attachments that would report my RELEVANT system configuration details and the state of the program at the time, but clearly that's the two hundred and first bug of the day. FWIW, I checked, and the 'preferences' dialog on your software does not include ANY audio OR video preferences. "what audio and video preference is configured in system, preferences, sounds, audio and video? does using alsa there fixes your issue?" neither of these questions parse. My initial report clearly says I am using alsa and use aoss and all the other alsa apps, including Audacious, work fine together, only Rhythmbox fails, and this is a new situation, it worked fine until recent Ubuntu updates on 8.04. Sorry if that is not short and clear enough for you. Stupid me, I thought I'd be doing you a favour by reporting the new holes in your software, especially a show-stopper like "does not play well with others", especially something so specific as a short timeline that would need to be within a small set of update patches, but clearly I'm wrong, so I'll stop wasting your precious time and let you get on with those 199 other new bug reports.
