Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Rhythmbox doesn't play anything because it starts a strange and unstoppable search for all tree of musics showing a red icon like traffic stop sign. In the properties of any music a message is displayed: "Failed to create output image buffer of 60x60 pixels". After 1 minute searching in Google I found someone who had a interesting solution (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=803889 or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/236201), and now Rhythmbox plays audio files but the visualization option is not available, so it's a incomplete solution.
Yes I'm using via video driver (official chrome driver from via-linux.com.tw for vx800 video card), and the problem affects all kind of audio formats (wma, mp3...).
Any ideas to put Rhythmbox really 100%?
