Per spec, if an app/game is playing sounds but not music, that is the
"alert" output role. As long as an alarm is not sounding, a phone call
is not in progress, and you're not playing music some other way, all
volume controls should adjust the volume of that app's sounds.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#primary-output>

In other words, if apps "obey the media volume setting" for things that
aren't music/video, that's probably a bug.

I just realized that when I added output roles to the spec, I updated
the design for the System Settings slider and the volume buttons, but I
neglected to update the design for the indicator slider to match. Spec
updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound?action=diff&rev2=148&rev1=147>
But that doesn't seem to be related to this bug report, and I still have
no reason to think that this bug report is valid.

Title:
  Sound indicator should only indicate ringtone volume

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Incomplete
Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On the phone, the volume indicator follows the current active stream
  volume (music, alarm etc.) to show and control via slider and/or
  volume buttons.

  The indicator icon and slider should only ever follow the ringtone
  volume. I'm not sure whether volume buttons should work for alarms.

  This is somewhat related to bug #1291458.
