In the latest version (the beta that is being tested), this doesn't appear to be a problem anymore. If I load a song that doesn't have audio, the player isn't shown at all (even when it is set up to fade after 5 seconds with transparency). So you can go back to using the transparency like you were before without this issue once the next update is released. It's possible this bug fix is in 2.9.6 as well - I would have to dig through the code commit history to verify.
