I've found that a couple of other media players also perform the same behaviour. It happens with VLC, Songbird and Totem Movie Player (which is Ubuntu's default movie player, but not Rhythmbox).
Bugs will have to be reported for each media player, however, it seems unintuitive that Gnome's sleep mechanism doesn't check to see if any audio is currently playing before hibernating. I realize that when an app is running it needs to inform gnome that it shouldn't suspend and let gnome know when it can, however, it seems more intuitive to inform gnome on occasions that it should suspend while audio is playing and leave the default as not to suspend when audio is being played.
