Bug Description

indicator-sound "ellipses" (is this even a verb?) even when it's not really needed (look at the screenshot), I assume it doesn't care about font size and just sets a default number of characters.

For the record, the name of the artist in the Screenshot is "Premiata Forneria Marconi", so it hides 7 characters for no reason at all, since there is plenty of space.

I mean, seriously, almost everything gets ellipsed, this can't be right.
