Same problem here.
according to dpkg "/lib/libnss_wins.so.6" is provided by the winbind package.
Before I installed winbind rhythmbox didn't segfault, so this might be a problem with libnss_wins.
Removing winbind does work as a workaround, but it's not fixing the problem.
If I find why this is happening I'll let you guys know, but uninstalling winbind might not be a option for people who need windows/linux network interoperability.

affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) → samba (Ubuntu)
