Just to be clear this python program is a small utility that sits in
your system tray and allows you to select and listen to online radio
streams, as decoded by the gstreamer librairies--the only dependency
other than some python stuff, it seems.

Why this is invalid because you can also listen to online radio from an
HTML5 compatible browser, I am uncertain (this app is ostensibly
designed to be minimal, whereas HTML5 compatible browsers generally
have maximal tendencies).

Of course if the application isn't working that does qualify as a major
point in its disfavor.

I just read that 'python-xdg' should be a hard dependency, the installation
of which has fixed some folks' mortal bugs.
