Bug#668109: rhythmbox: shuffle mode (play songs randomly) pauses with ogg files

[Andres Cimmarusti]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.96-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

My music library is a mix between mp3 and ogg files. Usually I just 
choose the 'shuffle' or play songs in random order mode. Doing this 
normally starts playing fine, but when the turn comes to play an ogg 
file, the player (rhythmbox) simply pauses the song indefinitely, unless 
I manually make it start play again.

This situation does not manifest itself when playing music sequentially 
(i.e. not using shuffle or random).

This didn't happen with rhythmbox in squeeze, on the same computer. I 
also didn't experience this with other programs like quodlibet or 
gmusicbrowser.

Starting rhythmbox from a terminal only shows one warning message:

(rhythmbox:9558): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_uint: assertion 
`G_VALUE_HOLDS_UINT (value)' failed
