If I make the changes in rhythmbox necessary, I get File:// URI's in
the playlist.  It seems that they're coming from totem-pl-parser. For
instance, with TOTEM_PL_PARSER_M3U, I get:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:,Careless Whisper
/MUSIC/Seether/Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces/13 - Careless Whisper.mp3

With TOTEM_PL_PARSER_M3U_DOS:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:,Careless Whisper
file:///MUSIC/Seether/Finding%20Beauty%20In%20Negative%20Spaces/13%20-%20Careless%20Whisper.mp3

Looking over the function totem_pl_parser_uri_to_dos(), I don't see
anywhere in that function where the uri is properly converted to a DOS
path.  Thoughts?
