Bug Description

All Rhythmbox has to do is call a simple dbus method when playing starts, and
a simple dbus method when it's paused or stopped. This way g-p-m doesn't auto-suspend or
power-down when Rhythmbox is in the middle of playing.

This is important for those who use their computer for music when they are not sitting in front of it.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomePowerManagerInactiveSleep for more information.

Add an option where users decide how they want this handled. See #282326.

Was filing a bug for the existing power-manager plugin in Rhythmbox and noticed this bug marked "wishlist". Given the existence of code in Rhythmbox that is supposed to do this but doesn't is worth bumping the priority up a bit? Without looking at the current code, my guess is the same dbus update that broke a python rhythmbox plugin I use also effected this one.
