I can reproduce this, but I think the problem is wider than just moving forward / backwards with the panel icon.
It happens to me all the time, where Rhythmbox will finish playing one song, move to the next and sit at 0:00. It thinks it is playing, but time does not move and sound is not heard. Skipping to other tracks sometimes kick starts it again. quinnman, if you use the slider to skip to a second into the song when it is 'hung' does it start to play? -- [Feisty] rhythmbox fails to play a track after a jump to the beginning of the track https://launchpad.net/bugs/88514 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
