Well, adding a Spotify or Grooveshark gstreamer support shouldn't be
too hard. Once that is available (which would be a good thing for
multiple reasons), adding support for it in the media hub is more than
doable. There is the remaining issues of playlist loading, but we
could extend the notion of a static playlist handed over to the media
hub by a dynamic variant that dispatches again to service-specific
helpers.

Cheers,
