Description Arnaud B. 2015-03-15 20:27:02 UTC 
In the list of applications playing sound, the Control Center should use an icon adapted to the theme used. So, when using HighContrast, it should try to use the symbolic icon (as this one is preferred now), and fallback on the HighContrast one (if available), instead of using exclusively the hicolor one.

I don’t know if symbolic icons shouldn’t be also preferred when using hicolor theme.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2015-03-16 09:58:27 UTC 
It uses icon names provided by the applications themselves. You can see those in the "echo list-clients | pacmd" command output.

If those applications don't install the right icons, then they're not going to get picked up.
Comment 2 Arnaud B. 2015-03-16 12:00:08 UTC 
Right, so Totem needs a correction.

Should I ask applications to always use the symbolic icon, or to only use it when using HighContrast theme?

Why?

No. We're not going to be using the symbolic icon in this view. If applications want to use symbolic icons they'll export their icon names with the symbolic suffix.

Because it presents its hicolor icon even when HighContrast theme is used… so an icon that is not suitable there. Sound Recorder and Music work as expected.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2015-03-16 12:20:51 UTC 
Right. Closing as NOTABUG, we show the right icons if they exist.
Comment 6 Arnaud B. 2015-03-16 12:31:59 UTC 
It’s reported for Totem[1].
