Bug Description
This is most notable when using the rythmbox music player. When skipping a couple of song via the "play next song" button/hotkey or clicking on another song, each time a notification is sent to Notify OSD. Not an issue but they stack up to ~30 notifications very fast and each one is displayed for a couple of seconds. So all of them are outdated as only the last one is important.
Notify OSD should drop all notifications of one category/
Furthermore an option should be added to mark a notification as permanent/
Examples:
-p, --permanent Cannot be dropped out of the notification stack
-f, --fix
-al, --ageless
Of course you could invert that behaviour, so that by default all notifications are stacked and the specific ones require a parameter to be able to dropped out of the stack. In this case the rythmbox plugin has to include the new parameter.

I should note that this is not an issue of rhythmbox! No application can forsee the user or device inputs, therefor it needs to be handled in Notify OSD.
This is a spam protection as well by the way.
