Indeed we already have an implementation of various contextual volumes or
otherwise known as audio roles. There currently is a bug related to the
audio roles that I have a fix for in silo 53 [1] if you're comfortable with
and interested in testing it. The bug that it fixes is [2]. Basically the 5
roles that we have are:


   1. Music/Video Role (these are separate at the QtMultimedia level but
   for Touch we make them one and the same
   2. AlarmRole - e.g. clock app's alarm use this
   3. NotificationRole - e.g. SMS/Telegram message received sounds use this
   4. RingtoneRole - e.g. incoming call ringtone
   5. VoiceCommunicationRole - e.g. a VOIP app

If you have any further questions on this just let me know.
