I don't think it's necessary to keep the music playing when the window
is closed. The only reason I can think of for this to have been decide
originally is to reduce the amount of space that 'background' apps took
up on the taskbar in pre-Unity Ubuntu. Now that Unity is here, we have a
much more efficient way of managing active applications via the
Launcher, and minimising it to there is unlikely to impact the user-
experience since I believe the user is likely to already have locked the
icon to the Launcher.

I believe that the section on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu#compliance should be amended to remove
the following passage

"A compliant player should also keep playing if you close its window
while it is playing"

and that Rhythmbox should be patched to stop playing regardless of
whether it was "close" or "quit" that the user selected.
