Description Sergej Kotliar 2004-04-04 16:31:28 UTC 
I've configured Gstreamer to output to ESD, so RB doesn't work with ESDsink off.

What I have to do now to get it to work is:
a) turn off sound events and sound server
b) start RB
c) turn on sound events and sound server
d) press play.

If it wasn't for that error message, I wouldn't need steps a) and c)
Please resolve this somehow.

I'm using 0.7.2 (from Fedora devel)

That error message is there because you are almost certain to get crashes from
doing this eventually.  The problem isn't fixable from Rhythmbox unfortunately -
it's a bug in libgnomeui essentially.

Comment 2 Sergej Kotliar 2004-04-13 10:14:51 UTC 
Is there a way of removing the error then?
Cause for me, once started it works GREAT! Just a pain starting up rhythmbox
with doing settings and stuff...
Comment 3 Christophe Fergeau 2004-04-13 10:40:27 UTC 
Yeah, it works great because you disabled gnome sound events because of the
error dialog. If you don't do that, rhythmbox will be crashy. So the error
dialog seems useful
Comment 4 Sergej Kotliar 2004-04-13 10:44:08 UTC 
No, because I had to RESTART sound events after I started RB to get it to work.
So the dialog just wasts my time.
Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2004-04-13 10:49:56 UTC 
You probably only need to have the sound server running, not the sound events.
Comment 6 Sergej Kotliar 2004-04-13 10:53:03 UTC 
Tested, and yes, that was true.
Still, it works perfectly fine with sound events. Maybe the error message should
be changed to simply a warning? That way, people like me can just click "OK",
and those who get problems can turn off sound events.
