   It takes up way too much space.  I tend to use xmms and noatun as 
they  are usable while shaded.  That way I can have it always on top, 
and on every desktop without getting in the way.  Rythmbox is not only 
completely useless shaded, but larger.  Also I don't see an easy way to 
increase buffering to prevent skips.
