Somehow media player is opened within all documents (even my old word docs.) when opened in Libre Office 3.6.3.2 and I can find no option to turn it off or remove it from onscreen. I have even looked online and it appears prior versions had options - can you please give the end user control over the product use? This should be a toggle on/off feature in my opinion. Let me decide if I want to see it on every text document, spreadsheet, presentation page or database. Default should be OFF, please. Media players are a nice EXTRA feature but not essential to the majority of work performed by the end user. I estimate less than 1% usage by most users. Thanks for listening.
Does this open always for all files? Also can you try running LibreOffice with a brand new LO user profile (see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile)? Please attach a screenshot if this is still an issue in the latest stable release.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the gallery (Tools -> Gallery) 2. Open a sound file in "Sounds" 3. Close the gallery Result: media player stays open and can't be closed (Screenshot attached). LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539) on OSX 10.8.4. Creating a new UserProfile works.

How to close the Media Player: "Undock the media player: drag it (in the marked gray area) with the mouse to the right. Then you can hit the 'Close' button."

Please drop me from the email listing or close it out completely. That was 7 months ago – mine is fine now.
