[Bug 1410874] Re: Alarm sounds vs Calendar sounds

 

>From bug 1391501 it seems we really should be using the role alert, as
calendar events are not really alarms. That would also mean that the
alert volume (default when nothing is playing) will also affect the
calendar events, which is also good.

Title:
  Alarm sounds vs Calendar sounds

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As discussed with rsalveti and pmcgowan in #phablet on 14 Jan

  There are two issues in the datetime notification code that need to be
  changed.

  1. Right now we only set role=alarm if the sound is looping; ie if it's an alarm clock event rather than calendar event.
  Set calendar event role to alert

  2. Calendar events shouldn't play in silent mode. We can test for
  silent mode on the bus, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team
  /telephony-
  service/trunk/view/head:/libtelephonyservice/greetercontacts.cpp has
  an example: getUserValue("com.ubuntu.touch.AccountsService.Sound",
  "SilentMode");
