A fix for this does not require any work on the side of notify-osd. notify-osd actually has no knowledge of what goes on around its bubbles on the screen. Thus tring to "fix" it from that angle is fundamentally wrong.

When the song-switch is triggered via the sound-menu, it should not issue a notification.

Since the notification for the song-switch is coming from the music-player application (rhythmbox or banshee), there needs to be an added "flag" those apps expose to the sound-menu, which reads like "don't trigger an notification".

With such a flag in place and correctly interpreted by the music-players, it'll be easy for the sound-menu to suppress any notification.
