Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
The title says it all really - I play from local files - mp3 and ogg -
in my /home/user/Music directory created by a default install of Hardy
Heron using free space at the end of my hard drive - dual booting with
winxp.
I run evolution, firefox and rhythmbox and sit here surfing, or go and
do household chores etc - shortly after an hour all sound stops as
rhythmbox freezes. I quit rhythmbox, via right-click on taskbar button
for rhythmbox and close, and then say yes to quit program not
responding. After that all sound apps, such as movie players cannot play
sound, tho the movie is showing fine. A reboot gets my sound back. The
install is standard, with the addition of the following apps (they were
installed AFTER that freezing - Amarok was installed specifically to see
if it too would do the same): amarok, K3b, dvdrip, quanta and all
required deps and apps for these programs. The codecs to play mp3 were
chosen by Totem before I started Rhythmbox just after the fresh install.
Amarok has been playing for 3 and a half hours thus far - one or 2
momentary skips in play, but no freeze and system more responsive than
with amarok (as in when minimise and maximise apps)
What I would expect to happen - continual playback for several years if
need be !
System here: Ubuntu 8.04 with all updates as of 2 hours ago - 768 megs
ram on a Intel Pentium 4 2.66 Ghz
thanks for the work thus far
