Bug#251232: rhythmbox: awful crackling noise on mp3s

[mukesh agrawal]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.8.4-4
Severity: normal


playing mp3s, whether streamed over the internet, or from disk, sounds
_awful_. the same streams and files sound fine when played with zinf.

i know that's probably a vague description of the problem. please let me
know what information i could provide that would be more helpful.
