This was marked as "Fix Released" a while ago. Is the fix in Ubuntu yet?

This breaks any compatibility with software that would use it as an audio player (gpodder, nautilus etc.) To reproduce. 1) Find a music file on your machine which is NOT in the rhythmbox library. 2) Right-Click the file and select "open with rhythmbox" 3) If rhythmbox is already playing a file, notice that the file being played will pause, but the new file will not be loaded unless this step is repeated. If rhythmbox is not already playing a file, the file may or may not load, but will not play. If rhythmbox was not running at all, it will open, but not load or play the file. My expectation: Rhythmbox should play any audio file the first time, regardless of whether or not it has been previously added to the library.
