[Bug 1262745] [NEW] Cluttery/repeated playback controls

 

Public bug reported:

Currently the sound indicator shows the playback controls of *each*
music/media player associated with it. I think this adds too much
clutter, and is possibly a waste of space.

I am not sure, but in previous versions I think the controls were hidden
unless I started the player clicking on its icon. (Maybe this is a
regression?)

I have added a screenshot.
