Title:
  Volume notifications over multimedia content are annoying

Status in Sound Menu:
  In Progress
Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug 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

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#notification>: "When the primary sound
  output changes for any reason except an app request, or when the sound
  volume changes for any reason, a confirmation bubble should appear ...
  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."
