Public bug reported:

>From the Sound design for Touch (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#Phone),
we need to change the default behaviour of the indicator in order to be
able to change volume per audio roles, and not only the master volume.

On touch the master volume will always be at 100%, and each media role
will have its own volume values, so we can have a different volume level
for multimedia, ringtone and alarms.

This can be done using the streamrestore module in pulseaudio (via another dbus entry point that is only enabled on touch atm):
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/Developer/Clients/DBus/StreamRestore/

There's also a sample script on python that can be used to set/get volume per roles:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jusa/pulseaudio-utils/master/pasr.py

And the current roles supporter by touch are: multimedia, alert, phone
and alarm.
