Crossfade backend need restart to notice change of sound sink

[ 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.
The patch on bug 452226 fixes this.
The behaviour seems to be the same with the patch, or did you mean that it should be easier to fix this now?
The updated patch actually fixes it now. After pausing and unpausing playback, the new sink configuration will be used.
Seems to work fine now, thank you!
I've committed the patch to svn, so this is fixed now.
