TJ:
I disagree that it would be hard because my understanding is that both 
rhythmbox and gnome-power-manager can both use dbus to talk to each other (in 
fact only rhythmbox has to do the talking). This puts and end to to any gconf 
messing around and means if rhythmbox should die unexpectedly then your 
computer will still suspend (it's similar argument to the way that totem 
postpones the screensaver when it is playing video).

I actually set one of my desktops to autosuspend because it just saves
so much power. When you consider that a typical modern desktop chews up
41W when idle versus 4-5W when doing suspend to RAM the difference is
significant.

If writing a patch will guarantee this feature's inclusion in Gutsy then
let me know and I'll try and bash something out tomorrow.
