[Bug 84245] rhythmbox blocks video output

[wiertel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Using feisty
mplayer 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu3
rhythmbox       0.9.7.90-0ubuntu1

After dist-upgrade I have to use -vo x11 with mplayer. First I thought
it was bug in mplayer, but  when the rhythmbox is not playing I can
watch movies with default options.

Run Rhythmbox and make it play some music
$ mplayer -vo xv some.avi   # gives:
(...)
Xv: could not grab port 73
Could not find free Xvideo port - maybe another process is already using it.
Close all video applications, and try again. If that does not help,
see 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers.
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

Totem shows the message "An error occurred
The video output is in use by another application. Please close other video pplications, or select another video output in the Multimedia Systems Selector."

When I close Rhythmbox mplayer and totem works normal again.

** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
