[Bug 1504065] Re: Cannot play videos when a wired headphone is connected

 

From: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-
content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32009D0490&rid=1

"Personal music players shall provide adequate warnings on the risks
involved in using the device and to the ways of avoiding them and
information to users in cases where exposure poses a risk of hearing
damage."

IANAL, but 1 warning text and some alerting color for the volume
progress bar seems adequate to me and for all the other music player
manufacturers too. Since that law passed in 2009 I haven't ever had to
confirm an intrusive popup somewhere. If possible, I would probably
still consider getting rid of the focus stealing popup altogether.

Bug description:
  When having a wired headset connected to the device, video playback
  keeps on being paused as soon as playback is started. Looks like some
  snap-decision notification is shown, but it's too short time to read
  what it actually says because it disappears again when the playback
  stops again.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#limits>: "So that both buttons do what
  you expect and the dialog does not disappear unexpectedly, any role
  change should be postponed as long as the dialog is up."
