my laptop was left on last night... i fell asleep watching some scrubs. there was something fishy going on last night tho, as when i tried to play music in rhythmbox from a different partition, it went spaz and said they didn't exist, which was quite clearly a lie. but anyway, scrubs was playing fine in vlc so i didn't care.
woke up this...afternoon... and now almost nothing works. avi's will play in vlc, video fine but no audio. in gstreamer they play very, very choppy and still no sound. none of my music will play. the ONLY thing that works is defcon, and that's because it is a maverick among applications and uses SDL sound, which usually causes a headache but today it is at least useful in ruling out my hardware being toast.
i restarted the computer... now it doesn't complain that the music files are missing, but simply won't play them. it doesn't throw an error. you can see the progress slider is not moving so the music is not even trying to play
please, i am at the mercy of the forums today, i have no idea how to sort this out and it's my primary OS.
