Awesome, I'm glad you're interested in working on this.

Nope, you shouldn't need to wait to get started.  To begin, we need
several methods added to the Rhythmbox.idl interface.  Maybe something
like this:

void playPause ();

void stop ();

void show ();

void hide ();

This actually isn't very hard at all, and would be a good task for
someone wanting to learn the Rhythmbox codebase.

Then the control applet will just use these bonobo methods.
