Bug#600336: rhythmbox: Claims audio device all for itself

[Nathan A. Stine]

Manuel,

Pulseaudio is designed to claim the audio device for itself.

I believe you have 3 choices here:

1) Don't use pulseaudio
2) Configure gstreamer (and by extension, rhythmbox) to use pulseaudio
3) Use pasuspender to suspend pulseaudio while you use rhythmbox

You can use gstreamer-properties if you choose #2.

Best regards,
