Title:
  [Indicators] Changing multimedia volume causes missed calls

Status in Canonical System Image:

Status in Ubuntu UX:

Bug description:
  This something that frequently happens to me:

  I want to test/play/watch a game/video that has sounds, but I'm in a
  place where I can't have sounds enabled for some reason. So what I do
  is to press the volume down hardware button until the
  game/video/whatever is silenced.

  Now the problem is this: The hardware buttons (and so does the slider
  in the indicators) switch transparently between ringtone volume and
  multimedia volume. As a user, I have no clue which one I just changed.

  The outcome is that while I eventually succeed in silencing the
  video/game/app, I also silenced my ringtone without noticing it and a
  couple of hours later I see some missed calls because I didn't hear
  them.

  
  Suggestions:
  * IMO there should be 2 distinct sliders for ringtone and multimedia volume in the indicator.
  * When a volume button is being held pressed (or pressed repeatedly in a short interval) it should not switch between ringtone/multimedia in between.
  * The sound notification needs to clearly state which volume slider it just changed.
