The play button's tool tip "Stop playback" is misleading

[Brian Murray]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When listening to music in rhythmbox and mousing over the play button the tool tip "Stop playback" is presented. However, when you click the play button again the music really becomes paused not stopped. I think the tool tip should be changed to "Pause playback" as that would be more accurate.

Confirmed. It would be handy to have a "Stop" button too, since rhythmbox keeps the audio device open when paused. To use other applications (like Ekiga) I have to totally quit out of rhythmbox.

I've forwarded the bug upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424878

Kees, it should no keep the device open, could open a bug about that?

Also the icon must change from ">" to "||" when pressed.

Interesting.

Also, pressing the "stop playback" keyboard shortcut produces the same effect as pressing the play/pause one when it's playing...

That's fixed upstream now.
