Rhythmbox has numerous problems; I've tested it many times, and have come
to the conclusion that it's not yet mature enough to use reliably. A lot
of this comes from using gstreamer for playback.
I'd recommend using gxine instead. It's pretty good, aside from a couple
of problems that I have submitted to bugs.debian.org...
Cheers,
Paul.
