I've done some aditional searching and found a wrapper for controlling Spotify, written i vb.net (the language I've been using to earn a living the last 10 years) and it calls some windows api's to get the window and send keypresses (just as you suggested). If I take that code and put it in an application that listens to an port; would you be willing to write the SB part of the code? Soundstreaming has to be done through the DSBridge solution, so the SB plugin/applet should somehow get the stream from the DSBridge solution. It should capture play/pause/next/prev and send them to my application via tcp/ip.
It will be a limited and windows only solution but I'm perfectly fine with this for my own use :-) It seems fairly easy to implement search functionality through the official Spotify API, so in a future versions it would be possible to implement search in SB which gets transferred to "my" app and then return the result back to SB. -- mariowing SqueezeCenter on Windows Home Server.
