I hadn't realised that astraweb had gone away. I've disabled the
astraweb lyrics search in svn (who knows, maybe it'll come back
somewhere else?). I've also re-enabled the leoslyrics.com search since
that seems to be working again.

I don't know what that is, but it's nothing to do with rhythmbox. The
rhythmbox lyrics plugin lives inside the rhythmbox source tree.

The lyrics plugin has searched lyricwiki.org since the 0.11.3 release.
