Sound Indicator is cluttered with multiple media players

 

I think the sound indicator really needs its look/organization refined when you have multiple media players installed that have sound indicator support. It very quickly looks cluttered and confusing, as seen in the attached screenshot.

A suggestion for improvement:
If the player is currently not open, the controls in the indicator should be "minimized", so instead of showing both banshee and rhythmbox + Plus their playback controls all the time, it would just show the title of the player if its closed. In addition, if the player is closed the title that shows up in the indicator could be changed from "Rhythmbox" to "Open Rhythmbox".
