Public bug reported:

When playing audio from two sources that have bgplaylists support (eg
music-app and scope) it becomes confusing, whichever is in view seems to
get the focus of the controls in the indicator-sound.

What happened:
1) Start playing music from the music-app
2) Notice that the controls are shown in the indicator-sound
3) Go to the scopes and start playing music from the local music scope
4) Now notice that the music for the music-app stops and the controls are 
correctly switched for the scopes
5) Now switch back to the music-app, but do not select anything
6) Notice that the controls have switched to being for the music-app and not 
the scope, so I cannot now pause the scope I have to assume that selecting play 
in music will then pause the scope.

What I expected to happen:
This is tricky, if the controls stayed with whatever was playing instead of in 
focus, this could be less confusing. But still you lose the second apps 
controls.
I would prefer that all apps that are playing audio are shown in the indicator, 
similar to unity7. This then would not be confusing as you could see the 
controls for all the different apps available.
