This issue cannot be solved in the sound menu. It is up to the applications to issue notification bubbles based on how the track was changed. Similarly for notify-osd: it doesn't have enough information to decide whether to show the bubble (namely, where the track-changed event was originally from).
I think apps should never show a notification in response to a manual track change, unless the track was changed using the media keys. ** Changed in: indicator-sound (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid ** Changed in: indicator-sound Status: Triaged => Invalid ** Changed in: notify-osd (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu.

I think Notify-OSD should not be shown when switching tracks using the sound-menu and MAY BE whenever switching manually.
