The ideal here is changing the indicator to give us a hint about the current active role, and only play the notification sound when the active role is 'alert'.
We shouldn't play any audio notification when changing sound for multimedia/alarm, as that is really annoying (imagine yourself increasing the volume of a awesome video/music and getting all those annoying beeps until you get to the right volume level). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1378920 Title: Synchronous sound notifications pause video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1378920/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
