Description Mårten Woxberg 2003-08-19 12:40:35 UTC 
(using Xine backend since gst backend is broken (i get gnomevfssrc errors)
If I pause the song playing to play a movie I get no sound since Rhythmbox
blocks the sound output. Since there's no way of STOP playing a file in
Rhythmbox I have to quit rhythmbox and then start it again after I've
played the movie.

If you pause there should be one more choice, [] STOP so theres play and
STOP and if you press stop rhythmbox don't block sound output.

It also blocks every SDL app and every xine app.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2003-08-25 13:45:14 UTC 
This is a generic problem, rhythmbox would need to "close" the device
in some instances, like when switching sources while the playback is
paused, and such.

This is not a xine specific bug.
Comment 3 Colin Walters 2003-08-25 15:03:16 UTC 
Hmm.  Benjamin made some changes to the -gst-tmp.c implementation so
that it sets the sink's state to NULL on pause, thus releasing any
resources it was using.

Can't you do something similar with the Xine backend?

I don't think this has anything really to do with which source is
displayed.

        (monkey_media_player_pause): close the audio device on pause
        (Closes: #120239)

Watch out, it requires xine-lib CVS
