Add a special case to make steam launched games not control steam's sound, because after fixing the process matching to make it pick up the right name and icon consistently, it makes it weirder for steam to have its volume changed unexpectedly

previously it was non-deterministic, so you would sometimes get steam icon with game name, or steam name and icon even though the game was being controlled.
This makes it more consistently the correct icon and name
