Public bug reported:

Device: BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition
OS: Ubuntu 14.10 (r20)

I really love the new experience with the scrollable indicators at the
top panel. They give the possibility to have a lot more room for each
category while being easily accesible. This is why each indicator should
take advantage of this and put all the screen size into good use. Sound
indicator is one of those. I'll explain:

When you scroll down the sound indicator, it just gives you the option
of "volume" level. But this is a bit confusing as you don't actually
know if you are changing the volume for incoming calls, notifications,
music/games, alarms... So I think this should be "expanded" and provide
different controls for each category (as I show in the mockup pic I
attach).

If this was implemented, the user would be able to easily change the
volume and vibrating for each type of alert: calls, notifications, media
and alarms. Easy on the eye, accesible with one touch even from blocked
device. Simple. No need for complex "Priority" or "At work" or any other
modes as in other OS.

Activating "Silence mode" button would just make the four categories
mute and vibrating-less, and inactivating the button the controls would
just revert to their last previous state. If from silence mode you
activate one vibration or level up some volume, the button would
automatically turn off as there is no silence mode any more.

Hope you can implement something like this soon in future system
updates, since it's really needed to make basic sound settings much more
clear and easy for the eye. As Shuttleworth would say, "Sound settings
at your fingertips" :)
