Having "too many" applications playing sound makes the sound plug resize larger than the screen.

Having "too many" applications playing sound makes the sound plug resize larger than the screen. Opening the sound plug directly results in the options at the bottom (like balancing) being off the screen, and is not resizeable to smaller than that size, even when going backwards into the "All Settings" menu.

If "System Settings" is opened direct from slingshot, it uses the last size (too large) but is resizeable, until you open the sound plug again, at which point the window resizes larger than the display again and is not resizeable until the window is closed and re-opened.

I'm going to mark this as "low" priority since theoretically normal users won't experience this issue. It relies on having more apps playing music at one time than you have display size. In Lewis' case, it was reproduced by having Chrome spawn many separate processes, each with their own volume control.

FYI Chrome does that by default, there's just usually less with audio, so the issue will appear occasionally, but will hopefully be rare.
