Here is how I think it should be implemented:
1) rhythmbox should use GApplication to implement a few GAction like "play".
2) rhythmbox should install a .service file to be dbus-activatable
3) rhythmbox should install a org.gnome.Rhythmbox.desktop file that tells the actions it implements. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s07.html
4) Unity can then start rhythmbox and play by invoking the "play" action on rhythmbox, using g_desktop_app_info_launch_action().

Most of the work should be done upstream IMHO.

Title:
  "play" when rb is not running should not popup its window

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

Bug description:
  Currently the "play" button is sound indicator is inconsistent. There
  is a confusion between music being a background service, or a
  traditional app. See for example those steps:

  1) (rb is not yet running) click play in indicator, rb window popup and start playing
  2) close the rb window, music is still playing, so I would consider music to be a service independent from its UI (even if technically it's not true)
  3) I pause the music (now I'm conceptually in the same state than when I started the session, I'm not supposed to know that rb is actually still running)
  4) click "play" again, it start playing but does not popup window

  I think it 1) and 4) the same thing should happen. Either popup window
  in both cases, or don't.

  I personally would prefer window not poping in step 1.

  Related to this, taping the "play" multimedia key should have the same
  effect. This is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687831
