But oh well. I have two media players on my HP ProBook 4445s running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: SMPlayer and Rhythmbox. I use Rhythmbox whenever I want to listen to a music playlist, and SMPlayer for anything else (including video). On Rhythmbox, I sometimes experience the song getting stuck at a certain point for a few seconds then continue to play the whole track. There are times that the song gets stuck more than once. As for SMPlayer, I tried to play a single song when it just stops playing. It won't continue playing until you click on the stop button then click on the play button. I tried it a couple of times using that same song and the player just stops at certain unpredictable points of the song. Video playback in SMPlayer also has some issues. The video's audio gets stuck for a few seconds too. My speculation is it's because of some issues with pulseaudio. But I'm not really sure. can somebody help me with this? I've attached a verbose log file of the instance when SMPlayer stopped playing a song, in case you need it.
