I wonder if it shouldn't work the other way... Is it possible for role "alert" to be corked when "multimedia" is active? We'd need a different role for incoming call though.
BTW, related bug #1291458. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to The Sound Menu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1378961 Title: Volume notifications over multimedia content are annoying Status in Sound Menu: Incomplete Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Confirmed Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This doesn't work today, but assuming bug 1378920 gets fixed the user experience will be: You're playing a video. You hit the volume up key. The audio of your program will be reduced, the alert sound will play, and then the volume of the program will be restored. As you're trying to hear the program, this goes directly against what you're trying to do. Possible solutions: - No audio or even visual notifications when multimedia is active - Visual but no audio notifications when multimedia is active - Visual but no audio when anything but alert is active (phone, alarm, etc.) - No change, this is desired behavior To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/1378961/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
