Title:
  clicking noise upon "pause" and "continue"

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  New
Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
  New

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..
