My Ubuntu 13.10 ignores my settings for my media players:

my desktop

altough the dconf-editor settings are such, that there's only one preferred-media-player ('vlc.desktop') my indicator-sound shows gmusicbrowser, spotify and vlc (which are supposed to be "only" interested-media-players as preferred-media-players

The screenshot explains my problem...

why? and how can I change this?
I have no idea why this happens

Okay, it is not a bug. I found it here . If I understand correctly this is the designed behaviour:

Is this bug about having the players in the menu at all, or about that each player item is showing playback widgets?

If it is the latter, I agree that this is a bit weird, but it is in accordance with the current sound menu spec: "The playback item should be present if the player can be controlled externally (CanControl)."

Read on that bugreport for some more info. Also looks like that "bug" is in Triaged status so things may change in the future.
