There's an extraneous semicolon here, but once I removed that everything worked fine and I was able to play mp3s without issue.

I've attached an updated rhythmbox patch adding gst-plugins-ugly as a dependency along with some useful configure flags.

I've since added libmpeg2 (commit e088410984) and noticed that we
already have libdvdread and libdvdnav (which I just updated).

Here's an updated version of my preliminary 'gst-plugins-ugly' patch.
