Required method to remove rhythmbox from soundmenu does not exist or is not obvious enough

[Burt P.]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu ...
"A compliant player should not insert itself into the menu merely because it is installed, but should insert itself as soon as you start actively using it (e.g. playing something with it for the first time, or adding music to its library). The player’s own settings interface should also have a checkbox for whether to integrate the player into the sound menu"

Rhythmbox 0.13.1 included in Ubuntu 10.10 does not comply.

I am also looking for a way to disable sound-menu integration for Rhythmbox.

perhaps it should have the "hard-option" like in messaging menu to set a link in "/usr/share/indicators/..."
but better behaviour for ALL indicator-applets would be a preferences dialog with right click or in system control center...?!

This whole process has been redeveloped for Natty. Please check the spec to find out more.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

[Expired for rhythmbox (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

In reply to #5:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Fire up the Live CD.
2. Install rhythmbox: $ sudo apt-get install rhythmbox
3. Start rhythmbox: $ rhythmbox
4. Realize there's no way to remove the integration with the Sound Menu.
