One thing, though - it has "internet radio" support but I'm not sure what this means in terms of formats. I usually listen to BBC Radio 1 using xmms on my PC, which is a RealAudio stream. However, Rhythmbox doesn't like this - it complains with one of the following errors:
It doesn't support Real, as there isn't a working Real plugin for GStreamer (this ticks me off too a bit as well John, I'm a BBC Radio 4/5/6 addict).
However, one of the GStreamer team has started work on a pluginn wrapper to use Xine plugins in GStreamer. It's for the currently unstable 0.7 tree (which I may package at some point when they produce a version of gst-player that uses it - RB and Sound Juicer already do...), which will become 0.8 when it's deemed stable.
Rhythmbox has a xine backend. Why don't you just use that in the mean time?
