Bug Description
[Originally reported for banshee. Re-tested with Rhythymbox on Ubuntu 12.04].
1) Start rhythymbox. 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 rhythymbox 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 rhythymbox 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 rhythymbox 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.

I think it's most likely a focus-prevention issue in Compiz. Try lowering it using CompizConfig Settings Manager, under General Options → Focus & Raise Behaviour → Focus Prevention Level.
I'm not sure exactly what each level means, but on the higher levels, windows that attempt to raise themselves are forced into demands-attention mode instead.
