I, too, believe that Ubuntu phone's sound GUI is ill-designed. It does not give the user control over what channel's volume she changes. Instead, the OS tries to be overly clever, such as always controlling the app in foreground (which may or may not be desired), adding some bias when speakers are on in the phone app (resulting in sound being played though volume is zero and the crossed out speaker symbol isshown), games starting with sound on even when silent mode is on, etc, etc.

Bug description:
  Version: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed r169 krillin

  System Settings > Sound > Ringer volume  is always active and always
  labelled ringer, however it only changes the ringer volume if no other
  sound is currently playing on the system.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#Settings>: "The “Silent Mode” switch
  should be followed by a slider for adjusting the volume of the active
  output role through the primary sound output. It should be labelled
  according to the primary sound output: “Speaker:”, “Headset:”,
  “Earpiece:”, etc."
