Rhythmbow keeps playing / running in background if closed while playing

[Lysios]

Well, everything is in the title.
If I want to quit properly, I have to pause the song and then quit. If I don't pause before, the song continues playing and rhythmbox is still running in background (no indicator in the launcher though).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

For other NOOBs (like me)
use the kill bit :-)
$>lsof -i
$>kill [rhythmbox PID as listed from previous commands]

I hate to say this, but I believe this behavior is by design. I created an issue like this long ago and it got rejected....

Try using Quit in the menu instead of the cross, it should do the trick.
I personnaly think that only closing the Gui is useful.

Incredibly surprising, had to google how to stop the sound. Who new that the volume indicator suddenly had the music player that I killed inside it? There's exactly zero indication to what's happening, and the perception is that somehow the player wasn't properly killed. Very bad usability.
