I was assuming that in the final version there'd be a notification area in the taskbar like in the old panel, which would hold your little icons for thigns like email and currently playing tune, etc, am I wrong? If there is going to be, could I recommend adopting that Ubuntu's notifier applet? It's very handy having one little icon for all your notifications.
