[Rhythmbox-devel] Crashes

[David Fletcher <dave thefletchers net>]

I've recently moved from FC5 to Feisty.

I have always used the KDE desktop but my favourite music player has always 
been Rhythmbox. Unfortunately it crashes out when I try to play tracks on 
Feisty. Others are having the same problem. Please see
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=459383&highlight=rhythmbox

I just ran it as suggested in the above thread from a shell, and got the 
following:-
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167
  Major opcode:  144
  Minor opcode:  3
  Resource id:  0x0
Failed to open device

/bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found


Then I tried to play tracks and got this:-

which looks not good. These are the same files that used to play just fine 
with FC5.

Hope you can sort this out.
