Banshee: "GStreamer resource error: Failed" on Karmic Studio, audio plays, but seldom fails to play a track part-way through

[heminder]

Binary package hint: banshee

audio usually plays fine, but sometimes when it'll be playing a song, it'll just pause for two seconds and play the next song. i set my volume on banshee to be about 30-40 and it plays the next song at what seems full blast. a little error icon also appears in banshee next to the track it did this thing with. if i play the track again, it plays fine.

this has been happening since an upgrade to karmic. was using hardy (8.04) previously.

here's the terminal window output of it running. the random gstreamer errors are when it fails midway through the songs.

ask away anything else you need to know.

ok, small update on the behavior of this bug.
i noticed that every time the playback failed, Banshee's EQ gets reset to zero. i can tell from the sound.
opening the EQ's GUI automatically enables it again, without any other clicks.

[heminder (air-caste)]

ok, another update and a temporary fix i found for this.

i say temporary because i purged the package 'pulseaudio' with aptitude, restarted my machine, and everything seems to have reverted back to ALSA (i think).

all seems to be working as it should now. though it kind of puts to waste everything the guys at PulseAudio have been doing up until now :S

If that's the case, then Banshee's not at fault.

i know, i just realised that after disabling pulseaudio.

my bad for not changing the status with banshee. this is the first bug i've posted, ever.
