This feature is still very much needed.

I just updated my laptop to Gutsy beta and pulled up Rhythmbox to play some music shared on my desktop computer with avahi/firefly. Playing an mp3 doesn't even show any message at all but if you examine the song properties then there is a message about codec support.

I think the argument that users will only browse with nautilus and double-click music files is naive at best and avoiding the real issue at worst. Gutsy is great about doing the right thing with respect to missing components in most cases so this lack in Rhythmbox is all the more obvious.
