This would make iRadio, and playlist imports not work anymore. Moreover,
Rhythmbox only depends on the playlist parser from Totem, not on Totem
itself, so it's really only a problem if you're compiling from source.

Given the dependencies of Totem (which are pretty much "a decently
recent GNOME platform"), I'd say that the point is moot, given the loss
in functionality incurred.
