[Bug 28840] Re: rhythmbox dies when trying to play to USB soundcard

[pfb]

I fixed my problem, and maybe it'll help others fix their problem too, though the more I read other posting here, the more I think that this is unrelated to the USB problems discussed above.  

Since I have multiple sound cards, I tried the trick of adding a /etc/asound.conf file with the usual pcm.!default blah blah blah to use my soundblaster card.  This made rhythmbox not work properly even though other audio worked fine.  I removed that file and simply chose the coundcard under my Preferences->Sound menu, and it started working ok (after I restarted alsa to use the new ~/.asoundrc file).  In breezy, this menu didn't work, which is when I learned to do the asound.conf thing, but now it does work and the asound.conf thing didn't.  Hope this helps, but if not, sorry.
