attempting to play anything, music podcasts etc. results in a 'could not stop playback. unknown playback error' message

thanks for the report, could you get a rhyhtmbox log with : rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt and attach that file to the report? does totem works fine for you?

I'm not really sure what that means... I'm not a big terminal user.
Could you explain?
Also I dont think I have totem.
