Whenever heavy traffic starts on my network, Rhythmbox will abruptly stop playing audio streams. The traffic in question may be local data transfer or (mostly large) downloads.
The same happens to local audio streams managed by pulseaudio. A data transfer starts and the stream very much immediately cuts out.
Typically, rhythmbox will pops up a dialog saying "server does not support seeking". I can usually resume playback but during longer data transfers/downloads, it will frequently cut out again.
I have tried replacing the onboard audio chip with a discrete ASUS DX card. This does not make any difference.
What does work is manually restricting download speeds using a download manager. However,, not all network traffic is controlled by such a manager. Something trivial like installing a firefox or a gnome-shell plug-in can be enough to interrupt playback.
