> Set Firefox half-gain from Max by default?

i wouldn't do that.
most people i know watch movies in the browser, youtube, myspace, facebook, soundcloud etc.... half-gain/full-gain/mute is a poor alternative to automatic priority handling IMHO.

browser volume *should* be controllable through the DE; today, we have streaming audio media embedded in webpages. this is simply necessary. at the moment, flashplugin shows up most of the time in the pulse audio indicator menu.. i'd prefer to read either "Firefox" or "Youtube" as reasonable identifiers. personally, i favour "Firefox".

more on use cases for volume control faders:

1. browsers
2. filemanagers (e.g. preview)
3. sound themes

any other ideas?
