Comment 8 for bug 949032

Lars, can you elaborate on what needs to be done in indicator-appmenu? And could somebody remove the 0.8.4 milestone since that didn't happen?

I started looking into getting this fixed, but since I'm not a Ubuntu developer and have no idea what I'm doing, really, I'm not expecting to get very far.

What I've discovered so far is there seems to be a one-to-one correspondence between HUD entries and normal menu items in indicator-sound. As a first pass, I was going to try adding an invisible "Play"/"Pause" item under "Mute", but investigating that idea I found that just turning the visible property off on the "Mute" button removes it from the HUD menu. Is it possible to add HUD items that don't show up in the UI?

Thinking about this more, it should really support multiple play/pause items. Example scenario: I'm listening to music in Rhythmbox and I open my browser, which restores a YouTube tab with webapp integration enabled. So I have both Rhythmbox and YouTube in the "Play" state, and I should have two "Pause" options in the HUD: "Sound > Rhythmbox > Pause" and "Sound > YouTube > Pause".
