Bug Description
When playing an audio file I found that the audio was apparently muting after a fraction of a second of playing. If I ran through a rapid pause-play cycle, it would play the audio after each cycle, and it was evident that the audio file was actually there & working ok.
Problem exhibited on an ogg, and wav (unable to test mp3) due to other bug.
My audo was initially in amr, and then converted to ogg before I first tried to use it.
Seemed to work fine in other audio players including mplayer & rythymbox.
Tried lots of things, and ultimately found that the problem stopped exhabiting if I resampled to 44100 (was 6000), and modified the signal to be stereo.
Hopefully that wasn't just a coincidence. Hopefully this saves someone 8 hours of "WTF" / investigating hardware, corrupt file, config changes that I don't recall making.....

I have discovered, that transcriber is working fine, when other sound is also playing (even with volume=0). Without that, I have observed the same problems as Peter Bulmer.
