Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Running Gutsy, with rhythmbox 0.11.0-0ubuntu3.

I selected the crossfading engine (Edit->Preferences->Playback), then restart Rhythmbox. While using the crossfading backend, when I try to play a song rhythmbox appears to never quite start playing - the window title changes and the play button gets "pressed", but the song time never advances and no sound is played.

I'll attach the log of "rhythmbox --debug" - the crossfading backend appears to say "not playing" quite a lot.

Out of the three types of files in my library (mp3, flac, wavpack) I only see this behaviour with wavpack files.

Thank you for your bug report. Your songs are .wma files ? If yes, this must be a duplicate of this upstream bug : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424836

No, they're mostly wavpack & flac, and a couple of mp3s.

So, looking at that bug I tried playing files from each of those types, and both the flac & mp3 files played fine. Only the wavpack files fail to play.
All the wavpack files were encoded in Banshee using GStreamer, and play fine in both Banshee and Rhythmbox without the crossfading backend.

When I get the time, I might go through and encode a CD into every codec banshee supports, and see what plays :).

I'll update the description.

Tested with mp3, flac, ogg (with vorbis), mp4 (with aac), wav, wavpack, ac3 & mp2. The crossfading backend works fine on all but the wavpack.

Ok, I'm marking this as confirmed and linked here in the upstream report. If it is a different problem, I will open a new bug upstream.

This is now fixed for me in Hardy, somewhere in the new Rhythmbox 0.11.3/gstreamer stack. I'll report as such upstream, too.
