vlc inappropriately greys out menu items in Playback and Audio menus

[Robert Hutton]

Ubuntu 15.04 amd64, vlc version 2.2.0~rc2-2

When playing an audio file (.ogg, .mp3 and .wav files tested), the following menu items are greyed out inappropriately (they were not greyed out while playing the same files in vlc version 2.1.4 on Ubuntu 14.04, for example):

Playback
        -> Custom Bookmarks
        -> Speed
        -> Jump Forward
        -> Jump Backward
Audio
        -> Audio Track
        -> Visualizations

The functions themselves are not actually disabled, as you can use the keyboard shortcuts to access them (for example, using the + and - as well as [ and ] keys to affect playback speed.

That's a problem with Ubuntu app menus, not with VLC.
