I have the same problem, here's my slightly different description: 1) Start Banshee. 2) Have another application open and *with focus*, e.g. Firefox. 3) Click on sound menu (volume icon in the top panel). Click on banshee. OR 4) Press the "media" key on the keyboard.
The Banshee window is not raised to the front (and contrary to the case with the OP, there is no Unity sidebar pops up). *The Banshee window is raised only if the Desktop area has focus*.

Leave the window open 2) Open another application e.g. gnome-terminal or firefox. 3) Click on sound menu (volume icon in the top panel). Click on banshee. Normally (when the banshee window is closed, but still playing), you'd see the banshee window appear. As a new window, it would appear in front of the other application. But in this case, the Banshee window is already open. Instead of being raised to the front, as I'd expect, the Unity sidebar pops up, with the Banshee icon jiggling about. I know very roughly why this happens. The Banshee window _is_ demanding attention. But it's clearly doing the wrong thing. There's no reason why the user should have to click on the jiggling banshee icon - they've already said that they want to see the Banshee window! I don't think Unity needs a new API for this. I don't have this problem with the integration of Thunderbird and the Mail application notifier.
