What's wrong with that? If you think it's bloat, GNOME has tons of that and this is just a minor one. I wouldn't be surprised if Decibels integrated into Nautilus to play audio files directly in the file manager. Probably more beneficial for mobile than desktop though.
I agree with you, I just wanted to share this for the sake of completion.
I guess the author of the article has reacted too much. The audio player they mentioned is a music player. At this point a simple audio player suits GNOME more after all of those simplifications they made for core applications.
