Bug Description

Vorbis files, particularly ones that are rated at a bitrate of 128 kbps, are prone to not play. On some occasions they do. Other files, are prone to not play after playing a particular song. When I say "not play", I mean that the tags are there, the length of the song is correctly identified, and the slider moves along like it is playing, but no sound is coming out of the speakers.

Heres the output of <i>rhythmbox -d</i> if it helps any.

I tried playing these files with totem-gstreamer to see if it was an obvious issue with gstreamer, but they worked fine

Sorry about not replying immediatly, I've been very very busy.

Yes, I still am having this issue, I'm using the dapper drake, and I've kept
current with all updates.
