I hope this will be a great view but...
I tried sometimes ago to compile gstreamer-0.4.0 (the view is in 0.4.2, 
isn't it ?) on my PPC computer, It's a real great project. And it's a 
real heavy pain ; it depends on so much libraries.
But there is worst : it depends on libraries  like Avifile that won't 
compile on PPC (will it ?) ! This is a real portability problem for 
gstreamer and nautilus. I had to disable the half of the plugins 
compilation...
And after the compilation, it wasn't even able to read .wav files 
because of - I suppose - endian problems.

So :  isn't it a bit early to switch the music view into a gstreamer 
view ?
