Going to change this bug into "use the alert role" bug. Basically the sounds coming out of unity8 notification today are using the default role, multimedia, which media-hub interprets as another stream so it pauses the audio. Instead unity8 should be using the alert role. That way the video won't pause.
The second part is now bug 1378961 ** No longer affects: media-hub -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
