Sound Preview in Nautilus

Bug Description

When I hover the cursor over the sound file icon, a preview of the sound file
plays like it should. But 3-5 seconds after moving the cursor away, a piece of
that sound file can still be heard for a quick instant. This is only a minor
annoyance, yet I thought I should address it so it may be fixed. I have tried
opening Nautilus in console but I get no debugging information; console allows
another command to be typed right away. Do you know anyway to help me with this
problem. Any insight will be appreciated

*Information which may be of use*
In a similar incident, the same event happened when playing a sound file from
any media player. I opened xmms in console and it reported that libmikmod.so
could not be found. I then search libmikmod in synaptic and installed the
package libmikmod2 (3.1.11-a-6ubuntu2). This has seemed to fix the problem with
playing the file on a media player. Totem, XMMS, and Rhythmbox all work fine now.

This usually indicates a sound driver issue; the output buffer is not being
managed correctly

works fine for me. As said by Matt that's probably not a nautilus issue. I don't
know what to do about the bug, that's a small annoyance probably specific to
some configurations ...

That could be the case. I do have a crappy on board sound chip. I am just trying
to report all the bugs I find.
Hopefully in the future this problem will be fixed.
