Bug ID: 384217
Summary: Applications launched via Launcher share the same
volume control.
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.10.5

OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED

Firefox was launched via Kickoff
When launching applications via Kickoff and/or Kicker, they usually show up as
"Plasma" to pulseaudio instead of the actual application name. It's almost
like Kickoff/Kicker is launching applications as child processes.
I've been experiencing this on and off since I first upgraded to Opensuse
Tumbleweed and Plasma5.
Only recently tested the bug on a fresh install on a virtual machine using
Tumbleweed.
I am attaching the output of "pacmd list-sink-inputs" of Firefox launched via
Kickoff vs launched via a shortcut widget placed on the Panel.
I decided to submit the bug here instead of pulseaudio because it will
occasionally work as intended.
Reproducible: Almost always - It might work correctly for a short while after a
reboot, but it invariably starts to act up.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch an application via Kickoff or Kicker
2. Play audio in the application
3. View list of sinks via pavucontrol application, Audio Volume widget, or the
command "pacmd list-sink-inputs"
Actual Results:
Shared volume control between all applications started via Kickoff or Kicker
with "Plasma" being the application name.
Expected Results:
Application independent volume control with the name of the application listed.
