Bug#510434: rhythmbox dependencies

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.11-6-1

This is a wishlist thing but rhythmbox needs gstreamer-plugins-ugly in
order to decode/play mp3s, the basic need of any mp3 player.
gstreamer-plugins-ugly requires dvd reading libraries.

My laptop doesn't have a cd/dvd drive so it seems silly that just to
play mp3s, I have to have dvd reading libraries installed.  Seems like
audio formats should be in a separate standard decoder library even
from media reading libraries.
