Comment 9 for bug 343261

Well, I thinks there is some misunderstanding. There should be two notifications on audio track changes with notify-osd:
1. the "old" notification with the title of the playing track
2. the "new" notification on multimedia keys actions, as explained on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Play,%20Pause,%20Stop,%20Previous,%20and%20Next

While the first one has no problem on rhythmbox and banshee, and totem has not had any notification before (and I do not expect it to notify the new playing track), the second one does not appear.

Use cases:
1. I press "play" button on keyboard - I expect a confirmation bubble to be displayed with "play" icon, eventually (for enabled media players) with a consequent non-critical notification bubble with the title, author and cover of the playing track
2. I press "next" or "previous" - I expect a confirmation bubble with "play next" or "play previous" icon, with the eventual playing track non-critical notification bubble
3. I press "pause" or "stop" - as said on the Notify OSD specification previously linked, I should expect a confirmation bubble (the icons are not present on the icons table)

So, I do not see it as a "player problem" but more as a notify-osd bug (I can surely be wrong). notify-osd should intercept the use of an hotkey, and, if correctly handled by a multimedia application, show the right confirmation bubble. It's not a "fundamental functionality", but as it is in the notify-osd specs, I did think it is a broken or missing functionality.
