Currently, the only way to do this is to edit the seendb txt file that the menu uses to keep track of interested players.

Open terminal and type:

gedit ~/.cache/indicators/sound/familiar-players-db.keyfile

This will launch the familiar text editor where you will see something like 

DesktopFiles=/usr/share/applications/banshee-1.desktop;/usr/share/applications/rhythmbox.desktop;

Remove the rhythmbox and xnoise entries

and leave it looking something like

[Seen Database]
DesktopFiles=/usr/share/applications/banshee-1.desktop;

Save, then reload indicator-applet on the panel.
