I don't think we want to change the SoundEffect to the alert role. That
would make things even more complicated and not really help with this
bug. Also that would have the side effect that in order to mute a game
one has to mute the ringtone, which IMO are really not the same thing.

Also muting a game with some background music and sound effects (e.g.
Machines vs. Machines) would require both, the alert and the multimedia
slider to be muted.

Title:
  Apps change audio output role all the time

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  To reproduce, install the app "Maroon in trouble" from the app store
  and play it a little with having sound enabled. Press the volume down
  hardware button on the phone. It will temporarily decrease the volume.
  However, whenever a new item comes into the scene, it will be on 100%
  volume again.

  Setting the system volume to 0 should keep everything at 0.

  
  Please note that this app does *not* have any code to set the volume! Also this app is one of the upstream Qt QML example demo apps, so this is really how QML apps are supposed to work (in other words, it is not a badly implemented app, but really an issue in the system)
