I can confirm this too on a clean install of 12.04 64-bit. My music collection is a mix of ogg (about 40%) and mp3 (the rest) and I see this message in syslog at the time the music stops: May 12 11:52:07 triton pulseaudio[3004]: [alsa-sink] protocol-native.c: Failed to push data into queue
And I'm using banshee and not rhythmbox so I doubt this issue is related to some bug in the player itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978604 Title: Banshee/Rhythmbox regularly stop playing audio when left on in the background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/978604/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
