I didn't felt insulted, no worry. I just want to avoid bug comments
turning to a desktop war, better to keep focused on the topic. GNOME has
that feature too, it uses ogg123 though and that's not optimal. There is
some patches upstream for some time to use gstreamer for that, they have
not been used previously because it would make nautilus sensible to
gstreamer bugs. Now gstreamer is probably good enough that it should be
reconsidered maybe.

Not really, I just prefer to keep the bug on tracker before getting
people starting to comment on what other desktop does. The information
on how they do it could be useful though

No need to apologize, I'm fine with other desktops doing things better,
the comment was just to make clear we have no interest to discuss what
other desktops do better on that bug, the focus is rather how to fix the
bug

To come back to the bug discussion, the way to "adress" it is to
convince upstream to land the gstreamer patch, I'll talk with nautilus
hackers about that during the GNOME 2.17 cycle
