Absolutely. By default there should be only one volume slider for all programs (like now). A control for every program (e. g. gedit …) will just confuse users. I am sceptic on how the use cases are anyway: When you are listening to music, you normally do not watch a movie at the same time. If certain notifications are masked by loud music, there should be a function to automatically slightly dim every other sound when a notification is playing (in a subtle, not in an annoying way, of course). _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
