I think we're flogging a dead horse with Rhythmbox.

This is false.

I've already tried to point out the basics but I guess my hints weren't taken:

* RB uses gstreamer for audio I/O

* gstreamer has a native JACK module

* you need to configure gstreamer's JACK module (the buffer sizes in particular need attention)

* you need to tell RB to use the module (or tell gstreamer to do that all the time)

It has nothing whatsoever to do with PulseAudio, which only plays a role when RB is using gstreamer's ALSA module, which picks the default device, which is PulseAudio on many systems.,
