This is not an issue in indicator-sound. Judging by the previous comments, amarok developers don't have interest in supporting this upstream. I'm marking it as a bug in ubuntu's amarok package instead.

Shouldn't it hide like other programs (instant messangers clients fo example) to indicator and play music in background? AFAIK unity abandoned tray icons usage, instead it comes with indicators. They works quite good with Amarok so why not to hide under indicator on close?
