I just upgraded to 13.10 and I am having the same problem. It is exactly what comment #48 describes. It also happens if I play a playlist using Totem. It seems to happen always to some specific songs, in a consistent way (e.g. i'm unable to play more than 5 seconds of "Led Zeppelin - Immigrant song").
Crossfade doesn't solve the issue for me. -- 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
