It's not up to unity to request the notification, but to indicator- sound. However, it can have an idea about what has changed by monitoring unity-panel-service status. Probably this can be done in notify-osd, though... By always delaying pop-ups when an indicator menu is open.

I think Notify-OSD should not be shown when switching tracks using the sound-menu and MAY BE whenever switching manually. Example video: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/275756/out.ogv PS: U1 was not working, so dropbox. :) and yes, I did spend like 10 minutes thinking which songs I should show in the video. :P The equivalent for the volume slider is bug 1389761.
