When you're listening to music, probably you still want to hear new
messages, alarms, etc. So blocking the "alert" role altogether would be
overkill.

Probably you don't, though, want to hear audio feedback for the volume
change itself. You're already getting more relevant feedback from the
audio that you're listening to.

Title:
  Volume notifications over multimedia content are annoying

Status in Sound Menu:
  Incomplete
Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  
  This doesn't work today, but assuming bug 1378920 gets fixed the user experience will be:

  You're playing a video. You hit the volume up key. The audio of your
  program will be reduced, the alert sound will play, and then the
  volume of the program will be restored. As you're trying to hear the
  program, this goes directly against what you're trying to do.

  Possible solutions:

  - No audio or even visual notifications when multimedia is active
  - Visual but no audio notifications when multimedia is active
  - Visual but no audio when anything but alert is active (phone, alarm, etc.)
  - No change, this is desired behavior
