Yes it works. But check out '#355238: rhythmbox: A user cannot see why he cannot "share" music', there's something interesting in my bug report. The funny thing is that, even if the maintainer claims that this is a requierement, something that most people will want to use and blah blah: a) is not properly documented (see bug #355234), not even in the application documentation! b) it comfounds users, since a user that *does* wants to share music will enable it, the GUI marks it at enabled and does *not* work So much for plug and play and user friendliness, huh?
