Ubuntu
rhythmbox package

FLAC playback stops after 11 sec.

Asked by Curtis Schroeder

I have ripped hundreds of CD tracks to the FLAC format using RubyRipper and Rythmbox has been able to play them all, until now. The track "Fanatic" from the recent Heart album by the same name ripped to the FLAC format causes Rythmbox 2.96 (Ubuntu 12.04) to skip to the next track after playing the first 11 sec. I re-ripped the track, but encountered the same behavior. Gnome MPlayer 1.0.5 is able to play the entire track without any problem and Lame 64bits 3.99.3 was able to create a MP3 from the FLAC file, so it appears to be either a decoding problem unique to Rythmbox or it uses a different dependent lib for decoding.

Yes, it plays OK using Gnome MPlayer, Audacious, and Audacity.

Just discovered that Totem Movie Player 3.0.1 has the same problem.
