When Rhythmbox is playing, computer becomes completely unresponsive.

[Tristan]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Within a few seconds of starting to actually play back a file (tested with both .aac and .mp3), my whole computer becomes totally unresponsive.

Running "top" in a terminal shows no unusual CPU usage.

The interface is so slow that clicking "pause" will do nothing immediately, but as soon as the machine registers this click (could be minutes), the computer comes back to life and as soon as this happens, all applications come back - many of which are now reporting that they have frozen/should they be closed etc.

I have actually had this problem since Lucid, and now on Maverick.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
