An application is playing music and I cannot find it
I double clicked an audio file a while ago and music began playing, but I cannot find the controls. It's been on shuffle, and I cannot turn it off.

Which music proram am I hearing?
I'm running Kubuntu 20.04. I seem to have accidentally started one of the music programs, but how do I stop it? It doesn't show up in any window. I could run ps, I suppose, but I doubt if I could interpret its output.
