I recently emerged Rhythmbox to give it a shot, and I've found that it plays all my music noticably fast, so that the pitch is altered noticably. Audacious did this for a while, and I fixed it by changing its output plugin from oss to alsa; my guess is that's the problem with rhythmbox, but I can't seem to change that setting.
Here's what I've done: gnome System Menu -> Preferences -> Multimedia Systems selector, changed everything to Alsa from Autodetect gconf-editor: /system/gstreamer/[0.10|0.8]/default/(keys that reference OSS changed to alsa equivalents) Added "-oss" to use flags, ran emerge -uDavN world, which did pick up several gstreamer packages. However, gst-plugins-oss remains, and gst-plugins-base still wants the oss plugin. Any thoughts? None of the other media players I have do this (i.e. mplayer, Totem, Audacious) except for what I mentioned above re. Audacious. So it's hardly a major problem, but I just can't leave something un-fixed.... :) -- Ryan W Sims -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
