Justin, I had a problem a few days ago where rhythmbox refused to play
anything.  It would start however.  After a reboot (I had just yumed a
rawhide update) it works just fine.  I'm listening to radio ioambient as
I type.

Brian Millett - [ Ambassador Londo Mollari's opening narrative, "The
Gathering"]
"I was there at the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind. It began in the
Earth year 2257 with the founding of the last of the Babylon stations,
located deep in neutral space.
It was a port of call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats
and travelers from a hundred worlds. It could be a dangerous place, but
we accepted the risk because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for
peace.
Under the leadership of its final commander, Babylon 5 was a dream given
form, a dream of a galaxy without war, when species from different
worlds
could live side-by-side in mutual respect, a dream that was endangered
as
never before by the arrival of one man on a mission of destruction.
Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. This is its story."
