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.
