Only that this AFAIK is no longer necessary with rhythmbox >= 0.8.0 as
it doesn't do things directly, but only via gstreamer. So in theory,
dropping an MP3 gstreamer plugin into (as of now) /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8
and all gstreamer apps should magically be able to play MP3. Or so I
think ;-), Colin please correct me if this is just gibberish.
