Bug#644642: rhythmbox: Visualisations often fail to run

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.8-3
Severity: normal


Hello,

for me the visualisations fail often, although somewaht randomly.
Usually, they will work after Rhythmbox has been started, but stop
working after a few minutes. This failure shows itself in that the
chosen visualisation display a static image. Each displays one that
clearly would be displayed by this particular visualisation, or just a black
background. Only Monoscope sometimes still manages to update the image, but
gets only a framerate of maybe two images per second.
Stopping visualisations, stopping playback or skipping to the next song
sometimes gets them working again, but this is not reliable.
When the visualisations stop working, CPU usage stays the same, way
below full usage (something like 25%)
Please ask if you need further information.

Best regards,
Daniel
