Bug#856659: rhythmbox: Streaming radio playback goes silent after several seconds

[Jan Heitkötter]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 3.4.1-2+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm using Rhythmbox to play back internet radio streams. However, playback goes
silent after several seconds. It doesn't seem to stop; Rhythmbox UI appears as
if playback continues: the time indicator moves on and the "play/stop" button
does not change to "play". After stopping and re-starting Rhythmbox will play
music for several seconds, and fall silent again.

This does not occur when playing media files from HDD or local network (NAS).

Streams I've tried:
- http://stream-dc1.radioparadise.com/rp_192m.ogg
- http://wdr-
mp3-m-wdr2-muenster.akacast.akamaistream.net/7/349/119456/v1/gnl.akacast.akamaistream.net/wdr-
mp3-m-wdr2-muenster

Best regards

Jan
