Comment 9 for bug 1366586

Yes, but my point is that if developers miss the documentation, and don't set this setting, it shouldn't cause disruption to the whole platform, which is what will currently happen.

If alerts is the default, then a developer not selecting multimedia for their app will only disrupt their own app, and will more likely be caught and fixed.

Currently, not changing the setting to alerts cause the developers app to work perfectly fine, but causes the rest of the platform to suffer as it cuts off music etc. Somebody with less familiarity with the platform will likely register bugs against the music-app or the platform, as it appears that the music is not functioning, thus further reducing the chances of the guilty app getting fixed.
