There's a small catch we've to think about. The time of notification-arrival (in notify-osd) and time of display (by notify-osd) is not guaranteed to be close to each other, because of the notification-queue in notify-osd.

With every notification we get the name of the sending application, which we could test that against certain media-players. Depending on the outcome of that check, we could do some method-call via dbus to see if the sound-indicator menu is open (not sure if that's possible though) and skip the display of the bubble.

I don't know how much trouble it'll cause if people skip numerous tracks very fast and we would have all these dbus-calls in between then.
