Bug Description
when pausing the playback via sound menu, rhythmbox often produces a clicking noise, same when continuing playback.
this is a well known problem in digital audio, it is circumvented by either emulating tape-stop and tape-start, or by applying brief, virtually inaudible fades to the ending and beginning of every playback period / sample.
i would find tape-stops upon pause and tape starts upon continue quite mean, that would give ubuntu some face, but that would be a little outside the box..

Workaround:
enable crossfade engine in Rhythmbox.
Note:
the crossfade engine configuration needs some love..
i have only a few millimeters slider to set the crossfade time usefully to something between 0 and 2 seconds
i think the crossfade engine needs to focus on everything below 15sec, instead of offering a 60sec crossfade.
what are the use cases of such long crossfades?
