---[ Configuring the output sink

You can choose your preferred output sink by using gstreamer-properties (from
gnome-media package), or by editing the GConf key:
    /system/gstreamer0.8/default/audiosink

The default is "osssink" because the default Debian sarge kernel is in the
2.4 series and hence has OSS support, and not ALSA by default.

---[ Before reporting a bug

If you happen to have problems with sound output or decoding, such as a file
that can not be played, or a crappy sound, please check whether you can
reproduce the problem with GStreamer.  The following command reproduces the
behavior of Rhythmbox calling GStreamer:
    gst-launch-0.8 gnomevfssrc location=/path/to/my/musicfile.ogg ! \
        spider ! volume ! audioscale ! audioconvert ! $(gconftool-2 \
        -g /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink)

If your problem only happens when you import files, here is the equivalent
GStreamer line used by Rhythmbox when importing music:
    gst-launch-0.8 gnomevfssrc location=/path/to/my/musicfile.ogg ! \
        typefind ! spider ! fakesink

The upstream BTS is at <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/>, and there's no
synchronization mechanism between the Debian and the GNOME BTS, so you can
expect more information on a particular bug not related to Debian in the
upstream BTS.  It is always ok to report a bug in the Debian BTS, this
will help other Debian users, but the upstream BTS might give you clues
on a particular bug you're experiencing, a quick workaround, or even tell you
it's fixed!  ;)

---[ iPod support

I don't have an iPod, and iPod support was long broken in the 0.8 series of
Rhythmbox, hence it was only activated starting with 0.8.8-2.


Please submit a bug report on the Debian package rhythmbox if this text is
outdated.
