Bug#784169: rhythmbox is broken after upgrade from wheezy to jessie, fails to play.

[MathFox]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 3.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Under wheezy I used rhythmbox for playing music. After upgrading to jessie
rhythmbox stopped playing music; at startup it shows "speaker muted" and after
pressing play it ends up in "paused" state without a way of getting out of it.
After quitting (closing the window) a rhythmbox process remains running.

Sound works under vlc.
