>From bug 1391501 it seems we really should be using the role alert, as calendar events are not really alarms. That would also mean that the alert volume (default when nothing is playing) will also affect the calendar events, which is also good.

Right now we only set role=alarm if the sound is looping; ie if it's an alarm clock event rather than calendar event. Set calendar event role to alert 2. Calendar events shouldn't play in silent mode. We can test for silent mode on the bus, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team /telephony- service/trunk/view/head:/libtelephonyservice/greetercontacts.cpp has an example: getUserValue("com.ubuntu.touch.AccountsService.Sound", "SilentMode"); To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1410874/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
