Bug#370510: rhythmbox: Ignores settings in "Multimedia Systems Selector"

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.9.4.1-6
Severity: important


My computer has two sound cards (see contents of /proc/asound/cards
below). I would like to use VIA8237 (non-default card) with
Rhythmbox. 

I have the following settings in the "Multimedia Systems Selector"
window on my GNOME desktop (Desktop -> Preferences -> Multimedia Systems
Selector, Audio tab):

Default Sink
Output: Custom
Pipeline: alsasink device="hw:1"

Default Source
Input: ALSA

Other programs using GStreamer (for example Totem movie player) respect
this setting and send their output to the right device (VIA8237). Rhythmbox 
on the other hand ignores this dialog and sends its output to the
default device (SBLive in my case) regardless of the "Pipeline" setting.
