This still happens more than one year later with Rhythmbox. A quick glance at the manpage of rhythmbox-client suggests, that the necessary behaviour could be possible with it.

However, when I press the Play button, the player's main window opens! This is improper, because it is inconsistent with pressing Play or Pause from the menu when the player is already running and it is inconsistent with our presentation of the music player as a service. A user pressing this button should not expect the player's main window to appear.
