Bug Description
I can observe some weird behaviour (see also http://
where the sound-menu entry is insensitive to anything, only when vlc is running; when closing vlc one can use the entry to open it again, but as soon as it is running the entry becomes insensitive (which means, that the back/forward/play buttons do not work) again;
Moreover the multimedia-keys do not work for vlc.
All other players spotify, gmusicbrowser, gnome-mplayer work flawlessly...
I'm Running ubuntu 14.04 and vlc 2.1.4
Changed in vlc (Ubuntu): | |

Thanks for reporting this bug.
The sound menu shows vlc as inactive because vlc reports that it cannot raise its main window:
$ gdbus call --session --dest org.mpris. MediaPlayer2. vlc --object-path /org/mpris/ MediaPlayer2 .DBus.Propertie s.Get 'org.mpris. MediaPlayer2' 'CanRaise'
--method org.freedesktop
(<false>,)
Also, the sound menu doesn't handle multimedia keys. That's up to the application.
