Bug Description

While working on a fix for lp:995060 I found that "rhythmbox.desktop" was hardcoded in PlayerController.vala, which prevented me from setting "Noise" as the preferred player (i.e. having its controls visible all the time).

I created a branch that makes it possible to set the list of preferred players by modifying the "preferred-media-players" key located at com.canonical.indicator.sound.* Modifications to that key are applied at run-time and it's always monitored. Of course this setting key only applies to non-blacklisted players.

You can find my work at rev. 5 of lp:~victored/elementaryos/indicator-sound

I can apply the changes to lp:indicator-sound and make a merge proposal if you have no problems with adding this feature.

Thanks Conor. I apologize for having picked the wrong branch as base. Otherwise the manual merge wouldn't have been required.
