Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Apparently, contrary to expectations, the --play-uri= option doesn't
accept a URI when what you want to play is a local file.
The --debug option is completely uninformative in this context. One
could perhaps wish for it to display some sort of status when the
requested operation cannot be performed, or at least when the request is
not understood by rhythmbox.
vnix$ rhythmbox-client --debug --play-uri=file:///var/tmp/nst.ogg
(22:37:25) [0x8056c78] [rb_debug_init_match] rb-debug.c:141: Debugging enabled
(22:37:25) [0x8056c78] [create_rb_shell_proxies] rb-client.c:336: creating
shell proxy
(22:37:25) [0x8056c78] [create_rb_shell_proxies] rb-client.c:347: creating
player proxy
(22:37:25) [0x8056c78] [main] rb-client.c:546: loading and playing
file:///var/tmp/nst.ogg
(22:37:25) [0x8056c78] [main] rb-client.c:556: playback state: 1
That did not work; nothing happened. Here, it works fine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ rhythmbox-client --debug --play-uri=/var/tmp/nst.ogg
(22:37:31) [0x8056b30] [rb_debug_init_match] rb-debug.c:141: Debugging enabled

Adding insult to injury, it adds on the file:// prefix in the debug
output!
Perhaps for consistency it should simply accept and discard a file://
prefix.
