I can confirm this bug under Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit (Unity), Rhythumbox 3.0.3 .

Syslog shows just the one relevant entry that matches up with the time of occurrence.

Pattern is always the same. Rhythmbox minimised playing a longish playlist. Get a few tracks in, and it will play a fraction of a second of a new track then halt. Clicking play/pause won't re-start playback, but moving the slider back to the beginning of the track will. Often I will go for a while without it happening, but once it does it seems to then occur again on nearly every new track.

I've experienced the same under Ubuntu 14.04, and before that on 12.04 going back as far as my initial Ubuntu install in mid 2012. Behavior hasn't altered at all over the last 2 years.
