Totem always has a simple set of audio/video controls and simple 
playlist abilities. I'd rather see Totem tweaked a bit to be a good XMMS 
replacement rather than introduce ANOTHER media player.

Not sure what the Helix player is doing in here - works well, but seems 
redundant with Totem/Rhythmbox. Perhaps it's in here because of 
RealNetworks/Redhat agreements?
