I don't think we want to change the SoundEffect to the alert role. That would make things even more complicated and not really help with this bug. Also that would have the side effect that in order to mute a game one has to mute the ringtone, which IMO are really not the same thing.
Also muting a game with some background music and sound effects (e.g. Machines vs. Machines) would require both, the alert and the multimedia slider to be muted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478506 Title: Apps change audio output role all the time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1478506/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
