I thought I was so clever in thinking of this idea, then I researched
and discovered that it's what iOS already does.

> The sound indicator does suppress the notification when it is shown

On the PC it does, but not on the phone. And if it's not obvious enough
even for Canonical engineers to do it, that bodes ill for app
developers. With this scheme, they get the notification-suppressing
behavior for free whenever they choose the easy way of embedding a
volume control.

> what if a notification goes off while the app is open ? you will
suddenly adjust the notification volume.

Yes, that's a drawback. But then, a notification probably should
temporarily quieten media playback, so changing the media volume
wouldn't be that meaningful during those few seconds anyway.
