Two more that I didn't see mentioned are:
a) pidof rhythmbox
which should return a list (zero or more) of the pid's of process
named by the argument; and
b) pstree -p
which lists a nice tree of processes running with parent/child
links. The -p option lists the pid's as well. You can do
something quite similar with /bin/ps, but I never remember the
options; pstree is easier to remember.
As for it not dying, i'm not sure. You could try "strace -p PID",
which should tell you what system calls it is making. It might not be
making any, which would tell you something (ctrl-c to exit strace).
