Thanks EpicTux for trying to improve this.

What I see is that if an application plays audio, most likely it has already
its own volume control.

Hence having an indicator doesn't deliver any extra control. The only thing
that it does is creating a standard way to present the controls.

But that way, when looked in practice, is rather inconvenient. It clutters the
interface way too much, and it doesn't show properly which applications are
playing audio.

My opinion is that options shall exist when a non negligible amount of users
find it useful, and the implementation is consistent. Here I suspect it is
neither.

The root cause of this issue is that, while the idea sounded interesting, you
have to SEE with your own eyes what the result is telling you. Direct
observation of the design is more important than any process or idea you can
have.

Also don't validate an user interface idea with text only. The rest of people
need to see a demo.
