Sorry you're disappointed with Etch; I upgraded to it and have been
pleased.
I use rhythmbox on Gnome and Etch (amd64) without problems (all
updated). Except that it doesn't seem to like some radio stations. But
on those, it will play for a few seconds, then start buffering and not
stop. And it will stop/pause/whatever without any problems.
Sorry not to have helped any...
