Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Release: 10.04RC
Rhythmbox: 0.12.8-0ubuntu3

When using Phidgets USB devices (www.phidgets.com), particularly the
8/8/8, I'm getting a lot of interference if Rhythmbox happens to be
running in the background.  With Rhythmbox running if I list the USB
devices using lsusb often I cannot see one or more of the connected
Phidgets.  Also, with the Phidgets advanced servo controller connected
and Rhythmbox running it looks like periodic stray commands are being
sent to the servos.  It looks as if Rhythmbox is periodically doing
something strange with USB (perhaps trying to communicate with an ipod,
or mistaking a Phidgets device for an ipod?) which is causing
interference with other USB devices.  The solution is to quit Rhythmbox,
and all Phidgets devices then appear listed with lsusb and behave
normally.

Ideally, Rhythmbox should not interfere or conflict with with connected
USB devices.
