From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Epiphany/1.1.12 Description of problem: Rhythmbox opens correctly and looks good. I can add wav, ogg, and mp3 files to the browser. However, attempting to play any file results in a Error dialog box with the message "Could not pause playback". If rhythmbox is launched from the command line, it outputs the following error to stderr: Got error opening "file:///home/joshuadf/music/tmp/music.wav": Could not pause playback It is possible that this is a gstreamer problem, but I think that unlikely since the following command plays the song as expected: gst-launch -v filesrc location=sample.wav ! alsasink device="hw:0,0" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhythmbox-0.7.1-2 gstreamer-0.8.0-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open rhythmbox 2. Add songs with Music | Import Folder... (for example, /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/ will get you the sound-sample.wav) 3. Attempt to play a song Actual Results: Error dialog box with the message "Could not pause playback" Expected Results: Song should begin playing Additional info:

What does this command output? gconftool-2 -g /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink
I got the same error (bug 119967). rhythmbox-0.7.2-1 $ gconftool-2 -g /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink alsasink
How about after you run this command: gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink -t string "alsasink device=hw:0"
$ gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink -t string "alsasink device=hw:0" $ gconftool-2 -g /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink alsasink device=hw:0 And still the same error when trying to play music. Btw, if it matters, I use esd with Xmms, and it works. Not sure then what esd uses as backend...
Thanks, Rhythmbox now works for me after doing: gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink -t string "alsasink device=hw:0" I also had to un-mute my sound with alsamixer, but I guess that's a separate bug. I tried XMMS and it also required me to set the ALSA output plugin to hw:0 (Preferences->ALSA Output->Configure). This is, by the way, using the builtin sound on an ASUS A7N266-VM/AA, nvidia nforce chipset, standard snd_intel8x0 driver. (I'm not using the funky nforce surround-sound features.)
Ok. This is a duplicate of ALSA bug 0000116. You can view it by going to: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/main_page.php Then type 000116 into "jump" on the right, and login as guest. If you can manage to make an account and talk to the developers via that bug, I would appreciate it. I'll check in on the status periodically; feel free to ping this bug if there's any resolution there, so I'll know to make sure an updated version of alsalib gets into Fedora.
Thanks. You can also go there with this link: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=0000116 If you're not logged in click on "Guest"
Just a "me too". gst and rhythmbox had never worked with FC2 here. sound card : "Ensoniq ES1371" (snd_ens1371) $ gconftool-2 -g /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink alsasink device=hw:0 Other programs work fine (aplay, mplayer, ogg123, helixplayer, ...).
Find a workaround in bug #119982 comment #10 . > gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink -t string esdsink
This only happens to me if I use a dmix'ed device. Doesn't happen when I use the real hw (hw:0) device.
