rhythmbox doesn't start in feisty

I got a bit more data from rhythmbox by killing the process I found running and restarting it.
Here's what happens when I click play:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

it works fine for me now, it just randomly crashes and won't start unless I reboot

Ok, thanks you for let us know. There's a new rhythmbox package in Gutsy if you can reproduce the bug with it please re open this report. You can get an iso image from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ thanks.

I find that the current Gutsty rhythmbox fails in the way "who_cares" describes above, but it does work (with a complaint) with the "-n" option. Like this:

ken@gkar Downloads $ rhythmbox --version
GNOME rhythmbox 0.11.5

ken@gkar Downloads $ rhythmbox
ken@gkar Downloads $ #nothing happened

ken@gkar Downloads $ rhythmbox -d
(09:52:10) [0x80dc408] [rb_debug_init_match] rb-debug.c:153: Debugging enabled
(09:52:10) [0x80dc408] [main] main.c:184: initializing Rhythmbox 0.11.5
(09:52:10) [0x80dc408] [rb_threads_init] rb-util.c:460: GMutex isn't recursive
(09:52:10) [0x80dc408] [main] main.c:192: going to create DBus object
(09:52:10) [0x80dc408] [main] main.c:346: THE END
ken@gkar Downloads $ #nothing happened

ken@gkar Downloads $ rhythmbox -n

[1]+ Stopped rhythmbox -n
ken@gkar Downloads $ #rhythmbox ran correctly
ken@gkar Downloads $ fg
rhythmbox -n
