I don't know if there is an easier way to do this, but the following 
method should work.

1. Open dconf-editor (found in the 'dconf-tools' package)
2. Navigate to com->canonical->indicator->sound. Remove gmusicbrowser 
from the "interested-media-players" list and place it in the "blacklisted-
media-players" one. Or, you can just switch the order of rhythmbox and 
gmusicbrowser since the indicator displays only the first listed 
installed app in the menu.
You may have to log out and back in to affect the change.
