There doesn't seem to be a problem described at all here, and the proposal is perplexing.
Why should the indicator slider change only the ringtone volume? That would mean if you were playing music, the indicator slider would not change the volume of the music, which would be ... surprising. And it would mean the indicator slider and the volume buttons controlled different things, which would also be surprising. Unless you think the volume buttons should do the same, and control only the ringtone -- but in that case there would be no way at all of changing music that was playing in the background, which would be even worse. Multiple sliders in the indicator is bug 1437598. ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: indicator-sound (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478075 Title: Sound indicator should only indicate ringtone volume Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in Ubuntu UX: Incomplete Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On the phone, the volume indicator follows the current active stream volume (music, alarm etc.) to show and control via slider and/or volume buttons. The indicator icon and slider should only ever follow the ringtone volume. I'm not sure whether volume buttons should work for alarms. This is somewhat related to bug #1291458.
