@Harald Sitter:
I will try to explain the main reason why I filed this wish.
For example, a user "wears" in-ear headphones and watches a Video in Totem (50% Volume). The user adjusts the overall Sound Volume with the sound icon in the gnome panel to a relatively high sound level. (e.g. watching a music video, to get a good sound experience)
Then, the user closes totem and plays something with rythmbox (100% Volume) without changing back the overall sound level.
Result: eardrum gone / sense of hearing killed
I know, I am talking about the __default pre-set settings__ and I know that the "real" sound output level depends at a high percentage on the sound level of the file/media which is played back.
At my point of view totem is the main discussion point here. especially because totem and rythmbox are installed by default and there is a huge difference between their default settings. (Or are movies usually less loud as music files?)
