Banshee causes video play problems when song paused

[Craig Esterhuizen]

Binary package hint: banshee

When Banshee is open and a song is paused, and you open VLC or other video player, the playback on video is jerky and freezes often. It is caused by Banshee because it happens on ALL players and when Banshee is closed down, the problems end. This makes video playback unusable on Natty and is guaranteed to turn off new users.

Please could you include some detailed steps to reproduce this issue, and the version of banshee that you are using? Also include your "~/.config/banshee-1/log" as a separated file into your report. Thank you

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Banshee
2. Play song
3. Pause song
4. Open VLC to play DVD
5. Video playback is jerky and freezes often - totally unacceptable
6. Close VLC
7. Close Banshee
8. Reopen VLC and play the same DVD
9. Enjoy perfect playback experience!

You can repeat this with another video player as well - same results. Banshee is interfering with the video playback on the other program.

After upgrading to :
Linux craig-pc 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

I cannot reproduce this problem any more today, so I suggest closing this bug report.
