No way to swipe away sound notification

[Mitchell]

Using RTM 5 on Mako, there is no way to swipe away the new sound notification overlay. While it doesn't last very long, this is annoying. Touching it, or swiping it away, would be a preferable way to dismiss this.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

You can't swipe it away on Windows Phone or iOS either. The difference is that in Ubuntu, it is much bigger and completely opaque, which makes it more obstructive.

If it was smaller and/or more transparent, and if it could be tapped through (like Ubuntu notifications on the PC), maybe you wouldn't feel the need to swipe it away.

We should at least consider to not show it at all on fullscreen video playback (not to mention it uses the currently hardcoded shell rotation so it comes up in portrait mode while playing video in landscape). pop-over volume notification that you cant swipe away is one of the most annoying things ever invented on mobile OSes, i wonder if we cant do better than the others here :)
