Rhythmbox 0.11.2 stopped playing music (Ubuntu 7.1)

[Flintface]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Rhythmbox 0.11.2 played a few MP3 songs. I restarted my Ubuntu 7.1 (Dell Latitude D630), and now Rhythmbox *says* it is playing a song but the timer never starts and no sound is forthcoming. Here is the relevant output form my ~/,xsession-errors file:

(rhythmbox:6181): RhythmDB-CRITICAL **: rhythmdb_entry_get_string: assertion `entry != NULL' failed

...Too much output, ignoring rest...

Please let me know what I can do to resolve this issue. I have applied the "No Sound" fix to my D630, so my ALSA audio is working now. But not Rythmbox. Dadgummit.

You may to (re) install (k)ubuntu restricted extras. Your symptoms are typical when that is not installed. Can you verify?

I will try to get that verified soon, Matthew. Right now I am preparing
for a quadruple bypass: I might be laid up for awhile.
