as results are very different from kernel, I think that kernel is the
problem: after some trials I Have reverted to 2.6.27-3.fc10.i686 and
Rhytmbox has played for an hour then crashed...VLC refuses to play
same stream.
Just to clarify my meaning, I am not satisfied with  multimedia (and
things have not improved) in rawhide, sometimes I think the problem is
that you have pulseaudio, Rhythmbox from rawhide, codecs from other
parts, and there is no clear technical responsibility of which package
is involved, at least for me that I am a very low-level tester: from
the tester's point of view, it is difficult to file a bug (against
what??)....also problem is well known.
And when you show a Fedora system to a friend of yours, multimedia is
important to check the quality of any OS (in many case more than
network management and so on...)
