---[ Mounting devices

Rhythmbox does not see devices, be it audio CDs or iPods, unless they 
are mounted by gvfs.  If you are not running nautilus, you need to mount 
them with gvfs-mount.


---[ Configuring the output sink

You can choose your preferred output sink by using gnome-sound-properties (in
the gnome-control-center package), or by editing the GConf key:
    /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink

The default is to detect your output sink automagically.


---[ Music sharing

The avahi-daemon dependency is not absolute, but is necessary for music
sharing.  Please install avahi-daemon to share music.

To be useful, avahi-daemon listens on the network by default.  This introduces
a security risk, you might want to configure avahi-daemon or stop it to avoid
listening in exposed areas.


--[ mms:// web radios

To read mms:// based web radios, you need gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad.


---[ 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 playbin uri=file:///path/to/my/musicfile.ogg

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!  ;)


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outdated.
