Per spec, if an app/game is playing sounds but not music, that is the
"alert" output role. As long as an alarm is not sounding, a phone call
is not in progress, and you're not playing music some other way, all
volume controls should adjust the volume of that app's sounds.

In other words, if apps "obey the media volume setting" for things that
aren't music/video, that's probably a bug.

I just realized that when I added output roles to the spec, I updated
the design for the System Settings slider and the volume buttons, but I
neglected to update the design for the indicator slider to match. Spec
updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound?action=diff&rev2=148&rev1=147>
But that doesn't seem to be related to this bug report, and I still have
no reason to think that this bug report is valid.
