2014-10-10 08:20:21 Matthew Paul Thomas description This doesn't work today, but assuming bug 1378920 gets fixed the user experience will be: You're playing a video. You hit the volume up key. The audio of your program will be reduced, the alert sound will play, and then the volume of the program will be restored. As you're trying to hear the program, this goes directly against what you're trying to do. Possible solutions: - No audio or even visual notifications when multimedia is active - Visual but no audio notifications when multimedia is active - Visual but no audio when anything but alert is active (phone, alarm, etc.) - No change, this is desired behavior This doesn't work today, but assuming bug 1378920 gets fixed the user experience will be: You're playing a video.

In addition, *if* audio is not currently playing through the multimedia role, a subtle noise should play for you to gauge the change in volume."
