Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'm assuming this gets fixed by push oxide media through media-hub

Confirmed on Utopic 161, but the symptoms are a bit different.

If something is playing in Grooveshark, it plays mostly fine as long as the grooveshark window is focused. But about 3 seconds after I switch to another app or the scopes or turn the screen off, the audio stops and doesn't start again until I re-focus the grooveshark window.

So, Grooveshark is pretty much unusable unless the user is actively paying attention to it.

if media hub integration doesn't happen we need to consider whitelisting this app
