Hi Ben. Thanks for reporting these bugs.

The sound menu uses MPRIS to find out about and communicate with media players on the system. MPRIS doesn't support passing the timestamp of the click to the media player, which is needed for focus stealing prevention. We're trying to get it into the spec[1]. We used to have some hacks for gtk applications, which got lost in a recent refactor of indicator-sound.

Can you give more detail on the track info and album art problem? I can't reproduce it on my machine. Can you please attach the output of

  gdbus call --session --dest org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox --object-path /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player'

when this happens again?
