I was wondering if you would know a way to integrate audacious in the sound menu, just like banshee. The plugin inside audacious to put a status icon doesn't seem to do it.

You need to use Audacious 3.2 (currently in beta stage), that has the built-in support for the MPRIS 2 protocol needed for Sound Menu integration. |

Audacious project lead said:
Right now, IT DOES! Audacious 3.2 supports the Sound Menu.
I contacted the developers on IRC in 2010, I reported the bug on Launchpad and upstream. Finally, today's Git version features a basic MPRIS 2 plugin enabled by default that works with the Ubuntu Sound Menu: http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/issues/14#note-7 |

You can install Audacious v3.2 beta from a PPA which works with sound menu integration out of the box. http://ubuntucafe.blogspot.com/2012/01/install-audacious-32-beta-in-ubuntu.html |

I started writing the plugin. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacious-plugins/+bug/658001 It correctly registers Audacious in the sound menu but the playback control buttons still don't have any effect. |

After looking around for a bit, I couldn't find any plugins for that functionality. However, the sound indicator does let you change Audacious' volume! :D (not that exciting I know). I would recommend getting in contact with the developers of Audacious and encouraging them to make it utilize the sound menu in Ubuntu. http://audacious-media-player.org/developers It's only a matter of time 'till it happens! :) |
