Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-sound

To reproduce this bug:
1. open rhythmbox
2. make sure it is not playing anything
3. close rhythmbox
4. within a short amount of time (less than about 5 seconds) open rhythmbox (using any method besides using indicator-sound e.g. a launcher or app menu.)
5. wait for a moment and rhythmbox will close.

Expected behavior: rhythmbox should stay open once opened.

What seems to be happening here is that when you close rhythmbox it is not actually closing just sending a message to indicator-sound, which in then in turn closes rhythmbox if it is not playing anything; however, this proccess takes quite some time and if you accidentally closed rhythmbox so that you reopen it immediately the new instance of rhythmbox gets closed by indicator-sound.

Behaviour on my installation is a little bit different.

At step 4, rhythmbox won't open from sound-indicator for several seconds no matter how many times you click. It will open from Applications menu.

on further investigation this goes away if you disable the Ubuntu one music plugin suggesting that this is the loose proccess that is taking about 10 seconds to close.
