I've created the following MP:
https://code.launchpad.net/~xavi-garcia-mena/indicator-sound/bug-1245495-playback-controls-with-playlist/+merge/283339

To fix the issue with the Next/Previous controls.

The problem was that, when the playlist was included in the player
controls section, we were not updating the state of those buttons.

In relation to having the application on focus... 
I saw that when starting the application from the sound indicator if the application is out of focus and you click the name of the application in the sound indicator...it comes to focus as expected. 
If you launch the application by itself, it's out of focus and you click on its name in the indicator, then the icon wiggles in the launcher, but is does not come to focus.

Checking at the dbus messages, I see that the indicator is sending the
right message (in fact the application is receiving it as its icon
wiggles).

I've tested that with Banshee, GMusicBrowser and Rhythmbox... all 3
application have the same behavior.

Title:
  Rhythmbox controls and track info broken

Status in The Sound Menu:
  Incomplete
Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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).
