If people can get out stable releases this fast then that's a good reason 
to include gstreamer 0.10 indeed. My worry was that since it has only been 
out for nine days as you said and there are virtually no released 
applications yet there is very little real-world data out there about the 
stability of gst 0.10.

Yes, it happens always and with every file. Well, more info about what info 
you need would help too. :) (see below)

I was mostly filed this bug for completeness sake and since I didn't get 
any sort of reply on it anyway I'm now more concerned with gst 0.10.

I filed it against Fedora-devel so the versions of the various bits are 
whatever is currently in rawhide. (top to bottom: rhythmbox-0.9.2-3.1, 
gstreamer-0.8.11-2.1, alsa-lib-1.0.10rf-3, kernel-2.6.14-1.1752_FC5)

It happens with all types of files and the audio sink is the, well, default 
one (my guess is alsa). Rhythmbox does not have any option to specify the 
sink. The CPU is an AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ although I'm not sure what the 
CPU would have to do with it. The audio card is an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 
using the ice1712 driver.
