This here was and is imo be the most clear and straightforward contribution
to the problem this thread is trying to address:

In the perfect implementation, Rhythmbox or Banshee would then have a way of
continuing playback where you last left off..
Meaning even if Rhythmbox or Banshee was quit somehow, it should resume
right where you left it upon quit, by simply pressing the Play button in the
Sound Menu's playback controls.

If R or B would take longer to load because it was unfortunately quit
beforehand, then so be it, but "distraction" here would be to make the user
go back into the library / manager view to resume playback where it was last
stopped.

Nothing wrong with session saving imo, even though it never really worked in
GNOME, not even for Nautilus windows, which imo is a sad thing (or did i
use/configure it wrongly?).
