Yep, Rhythmbox is audio only. NSF and MOD-like stuff prolly wont be much
use in RB though, since it indexes music according to artist etc, and
those formats dont have any decent metadata system. So it would all be
thrown into an 'unknown' category. But I'd love to be able to play that
stuff in totem instead of xmms, yeah :)
