While Rhythmbox does indeed open a port when started, the user needs to
start it before the port becomes available. This is no different than
opening a Bittorrent client application, or some other application that
opens ports.
That being said, perhaps the plugin should be disabled by default.
Thanks!

Title:
daap plugin opens port by default
Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In a default installation, the daap plugin is enabled, and listens to
port 3689 (daap).
tcp 0 0 *:daap *:*
LISTEN guest-43a0me 72019 -
Ubuntu has a "no open ports by default" policy.[1][2]
[1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/753986
[2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Policies#No_Open_Ports
Please resolve this e.g. by updating rhythmbox not to listen on a port
by default, or documenting rhythmbox as an exception to the security
policy.
