Linux Spotify (installed from snap) mini icon tray, indicator sound menu

I recently install spotify from snap on Ubuntu 16.04, when playing music, the menu sound does not recognize spotify, so i cannot control music from menu sound.

It seems a bit cumbersome, but I guess the apt package spotify-client-gnome-support is needed. When I had this apt package and spotify snap I was able to control spotify by the icon tray sound menu.

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Spotify installed by snap.

Notice Spotify.desktop haven't actions blocks within file and locate on /snap/... directory, in difference Rhythmbox.desktop located on /usr/share/app-install/desktop.

I could try to fix it manually, but cannot backup before.

Hi everyone, i'm using Ubuntu 18.04 now, and i installed with snap, now it's work good.

After remove viresion which was installed from snap, and then install via command line as debian package, the issue has been resolved.
