Will gst-player respect the gconf key choosing between cdda and classic
cd playback, if we make it? (I think it's fairly important that if we do
it, it should work across all apps.)

Another thing, this way we get about 3 apps playing cds:
- gnome-cd
- gst-player
- rhythmbox

2 apps playing video, dvd, etc:
- totem
- gst-player

So I think we should make each app specialise, and not blindly make all
multimedia software around core stuff.

For example rhythmbox for music management, and some gst-player/totem
hybrid thing for simpler music playback and movies, and perhaps audio
cds (that way I think we'd have to deprecate gnome-cd, though).
