Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-10-08 22:43:26 UTC 
[ From http://bugs.debian.org/445887 by Reuben Thomas ]

It seems Rhythmbox needs a restart to notice a change of the audio sink when the crossfading backend is used.

Yes.  I don't think there's a nice way to fix this.  For a start, we don't get any notification when the selected sink changes (and doing this by watching the gconf keys would not be a good idea in my opinion); then, we'd have to figure out a way to switch the sink.
Comment 2 Jonathan Matthew 2007-11-08 12:40:04 UTC 
The patch on bug 452226 fixes this.
Comment 3 Sven Arvidsson 2007-11-08 23:15:36 UTC 
The behaviour seems to be the same with the patch, or did you mean that it should be easier to fix this now?
Comment 4 Jonathan Matthew 2007-11-09 01:04:37 UTC 
The updated patch actually fixes it now.  After pausing and unpausing playback, the new sink configuration will be used.
Comment 5 Sven Arvidsson 2007-11-09 15:04:51 UTC 
Seems to work fine now, thank you!
Comment 6 Jonathan Matthew 2007-11-25 04:45:09 UTC 
I've committed the patch to svn, so this is fixed now.
