This affects the players, too.  Theoretically, by law, we could not use
this plugin with Rhythmbox, but we could with Totem.  Our use of
GPL-incompatible code is really something we need to watch carefully, as
there is also room for legal interpretation on this matter.  I'll leave
those determinations to RH legal, though.
