Bug#625533: rhythmbox: Rhythmbox does not use my 6 core cpu well when transfering flac files to ipod

[Richard Chu]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.8-3
Severity: normal

I have amd x6 phenom II cpu, which has 6 cores. I use rhythmbox to transfer
flac files to ipod, it would automatical transform them to mp3 files before
transfering. In the course of transforming, I found by gnome-system-monitor
that only 1 core is 100%(1 core is being used), so the rhythmbox did not run as
fast as it should, like sound converter or sound konverter in kde. I also found
the banshee did the same way when I tried ubuntu, so I guess the banshee in
debian did too, just for referrence.
