I'd suggest to downgrade rhythmbox to the stable version again (0.11.x are development releases). On my system I've cracking noise when playing ogg files or mp3 streams. Downgrading to 0.10.1 helps.
This task depends upon

Do you use the crossfade plugin in rhythmbox? That plugin is known to have these problems.
Comment by Sven Salzwedel (sasv) - Sunday, 14 October 2007, 17:57 GMT
No, I didn't use the crossfade plugin.

Actually crossfading is supposed to fix the cracking noise. But it does cause a range of other problems.

It is a bug of alsa, two workarounds:
1) use crossfade
2) lowering the volume
Comment by Sven Salzwedel (sasv) - Monday, 15 October 2007, 19:52 GMT
No, sorry, that's not a alsa related bug (I'm using alsa since ages with pcm volume at ~75%), it's just a development version of a program. Even if I'd enable crossfading and it would work, the bug would still exist. Since when is it Arch's philosophy to ship development versions of programs in extra?

I repeat, this is an alsa bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451570#c13
And second, rhythmbox is not following the version numeration "odd is unstable pair is stable", it is also not included in gnome.
Comment by Sven Salzwedel (sasv) - Monday, 15 October 2007, 20:22 GMT
OK, so why does rhythmbox 0.10 play music fine with the current alsa version? Why does xmms2 play music fine with the current alsa version? Ah, OK, because there's some magic involved ...

If I may cite rhythmbox.org website: "The 0.11 series of releases are development releases [...]"; source: http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox/download.html And now could you please tell me where I mentioned gnome or even that rhythmbox is included in gnome?

I guess Jonathan Matthew knows better than you which kind of bug is. So please don't spam again agaisnt rhythmbox and this bug.
I agree that we should ship 0.10 release, but don't accuse rhythmbox for an alsa bug
Comment by Sven Salzwedel (sasv) - Monday, 15 October 2007, 21:46 GMT
You never told the alsa bug number here, neither did Johnathan Matthew in the Gnome Bugzilla. So would you please stop trolling? Thanks.

hey "guy", links like this or better [1], where the _real_ problem seems to be explained, would have been much more helpful in this "discussion". Anyway, rhythmbox should still be downgraded to the stable version ...

Jan is this fixed now with alsa from testing and your revert patch?
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Tuesday, 16 October 2007, 17:21 GMT
The patch referenced in various bugreports has been applied, so alsa-lib from testing should work fine with rhythmbox.

I've got this bug too, just turnoff all plugins, restart and it's goodplaying again.
