I think adding a settings option for this would be the best way to go, with the default being that pressing the "X" button will fully quit the application and halt any music playback. This is what the user has been trained to expect from using the other applications on Ubuntu, so Rhythmbox shouldn't behave any differently unless explicitly asked.
