Thanks for reporting this bug.

The sound menu shows vlc as inactive because vlc reports that it cannot
raise its main window:

    $ gdbus call --session --dest org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.vlc  --object-path /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2
      --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2' 'CanRaise'
    (<false>,)

Also, the sound menu doesn't handle multimedia keys. That's up to the
application.

** Package changed: indicator-sound (Ubuntu) => vlc (Ubuntu)

Title:
  vlc sound-menu entry broken 14.04

Status in “vlc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I can observe some weird behaviour (see also http://askubuntu.com/questions/481713/vlc-sound-menu-integration-broken-14-04 )
  where the sound-menu entry is insensitive to anything, only when vlc is running; when closing vlc one can use the entry to open it again, but as soon as it is running the entry becomes insensitive (which means, that the back/forward/play buttons do not work) again; 

  Moreover the multimedia-keys do not work for vlc.

  All other players spotify, gmusicbrowser, gnome-mplayer work
  flawlessly...

  I'm Running ubuntu 14.04 and vlc 2.1.4
