Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Ubuntu 9.04
Rhythmbox 0.12.0
During playback, the sound cuts out for a fraction of a second at random intervals, roughly once per minute (several times in a typical song).
This is in 64-bit Jaunty with built-in motherboard audio. This is not an issue of system resource (4 cpu's, 8GB ram, and looking at system monitor, nowhere near even a single cpu being used).
This seems to be rhythmbox specific problem, I have tried several other music players wihtout duplicating the problem. For example movie player and the mouse-over audio preview (both use totem) playback normally. I can play song in rhymbox and it will cut out several times, play same song in movie player plays perfectly, then back to rhythmbox and cuts out several times. I have also tried banshee, songbird and gmusicbrowser -- none of them has this problem.
The times when it cuts out are definitely random -- play same song it happens at different places. Occasionally makes it through a song without it happening, but usually happens about once per minute or 2-5 times in a 3-4 minute song.
This must be at least somewhat specific to my system, as a problem like this could not have made it to release if it was common.

Clarification: when I say "skip" or "cut out", it seems that the sound itself cuts out, but playback continues -- it does not seem to be a pause BUT I am not entirely certain of my perception. The "skips" usually last for a fraction of a second, but sometimes can be as much as 1-2 seconds.
