Hi Ben. Thanks for reporting these bugs.

The sound menu uses MPRIS to find out about and communicate with media
players on the system. MPRIS doesn't support passing the timestamp of
the click to the media player, which is needed for focus stealing
prevention. We're trying to get it into the spec[1]. We used to have
some hacks for gtk applications, which got lost in a recent refactor of
indicator-sound.

Can you give more detail on the track info and album art problem? I
can't reproduce it on my machine. Can you please attach the output of

  gdbus call --session --dest org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox --object-
path /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 --method
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player'

when this happens again?

Title:
  Rhythmbox controls and track info broken

Status in Sound Menu:
  Triaged
Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  A Rhythmbox section appears in the indicator menu as it should but
  there are several glitches:

  When RB isn't running > click on the icon in the indicator > RB starts as expected  :-)
  When RB is running > click on the icon in the indicator > RB icon wiggles in launcher but window doesn't come to focus  :-(

  Track info and album art appears in notifications, but is never shown
  in the sound menu.

  Regardless of whether RB is running:
  Sound menu track controls (prev, play/pause, next) do nothing.
  The play/pause button has a dotted orange ring, which turns to an orange square on mouseover (see screenshots).
