 grilo in pkgsrc is built against libsoup3 (which is 3.x).
 rhythmbox is using libsoup (which version 2.x).
 
 I just tried, but the current pkgsrc version of rhythmbox requires
 libsoup 2, libsoup 3 is not supported.
 
 So for now I've removed grilo support from rhythmbox; perhaps this can
 be revisited after an update.
