Here is how I think it should be implemented:
1) rhythmbox should use GApplication to implement a few GAction like "play".
2) rhythmbox should install a .service file to be dbus-activatable
3) rhythmbox should install a org.gnome.Rhythmbox.desktop file that tells the
actions it implements. See
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s07.html
4) Unity can then start rhythmbox and play by invoking the "play" action on
rhythmbox, using g_desktop_app_info_launch_action().
Most of the work should be done upstream IMHO.

Title:
"play" when rb is not running should not popup its window
Status in Sound Menu:
New
Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Currently the "play" button is sound indicator is inconsistent. There
is a confusion between music being a background service, or a
traditional app. See for example those steps:
1) (rb is not yet running) click play in indicator, rb window popup and start
playing
2) close the rb window, music is still playing, so I would consider music to
be a service independent from its UI (even if technically it's not true)
3) I pause the music (now I'm conceptually in the same state than when I
started the session, I'm not supposed to know that rb is actually still running)
4) click "play" again, it start playing but does not popup window
I think it 1) and 4) the same thing should happen. Either popup window
in both cases, or don't.
I personally would prefer window not poping in step 1.
Related to this, taping the "play" multimedia key should have the same
effect. This is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687831
