buffering Notifications while the user is obviously "busy" would help here.
Now if we buffer a notification bubble to display it later on, in order not to interrupt the user's workflow, we also have more "time" in designing, to figure out whether or not we want to display this message in the first place :D

these notifications are totally redundant while the sound menu is open and being interacted with. This case is exemplary for a whole category of design flaws we should really talk about, if anybody else cares, also..

That's what I said on the bug. I think this should be handled in Rhythmbox itself. If the function is called from sound-menu or the main interface, rhythmbox should not send out notifications in the first place.

It should send notifications only when the song is changed automatically or with a remote control. Basically, whenever the main interface of the music player or sound-menu is not used to change a track.
