Double clicking a different song while the previous one still plays will often cause the problem. Closing and re-opening Rhythmbox allows a few more tunes to play. Running Rhythmbox from the command line gives:- [david@thinkpad ~]$ rhythmbox (rhythmbox:2472): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not open device /dev/radio0 libhal.c 2964 : invalid paramater. *value is NULL. libhal.c 2964 : invalid paramater. *value is NULL. libhal.c 2964 : invalid paramater. *value is NULL. libhal.c 2964 : invalid paramater. *value is NULL. libhal.c 2964 : invalid paramater. *value is NULL. libhal.c 2964 : invalid paramater. *value is NULL. libhal.c 2964 : invalid paramater. *value is NULL. libhal.c 2964 : invalid paramater. *value is NULL. ##### starts OK and plays first tune at this point ###### (rhythmbox:2472): GStreamer-WARNING **: Element bin2 already has parent (rhythmbox:2472): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unhandled error: Internal GStreamer error: pad problem.

Hope this helps David
Could you try with more recent versions of gstreamer and plugins ? There has been new releases of most modules since.
