@Nicklas and Ari, After a couple of reboots I can no longer reproduce the
ringer,alarm volume issue. I talked Brendan and Riccardo Salvetti and the
way it works is that the volume buttons change the volume of the current
active volume role. So for instance, if the alarm is ringing and you press
the volume buttons, it would change the volume of the alarm role only. The
same applies to ringer volume, media volume etc etc. So if your calls are
audible, then I would suggest making a call to your phone and then
adjusting the volume.

What threw me of initially was that the above mentioned did no't work for
me when I replied to the email thread earlier. I also did not see the
volume snap notification which shows up when you press the physical volume
buttons. So there could very well be a bug, but I am unable to reproduce
this any further.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Nekhelesh
