Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

You're absolutely right. I have confirmed this bug on Hardy amd64. It keeps playing even after it's out of the trash can! Fortunately I like this song! ;)

This does seem like a bug in nautilus itself.

And just to clarify for others this can be easily reproduced:

Simply mouseover a sound file until a tooltip would appear, and it will begin playing. Then press the delete key. It will continue playing.

Right clicking or using the context menu key, however, immediately terminates the playing of the file.

This bug can also manifest itself if you press SHIFT+DEL on the file, without moving your mouse cursor over the confirmation message that appears. If you just press enter, the file still plays.

For developers:

This could either be fixed by not caching the entire file in memory, by lowering the buffer size, or simply stopping playback when the file handle is no longer valid. It seems like caching the whole file at once could be dangerous anyway.
