Description Ewan.LEBIDEAU-CANEVET 2013-06-12 13:58:16 UTC
User can notice that he can turn OFF gnome-shell volume making the system not play any sound even if sound level are at maximum and sound is ON all over the system

Steps :

1. Boot System
2. Go to settings - sounds - applications tab
3. While the settings - sounds - applications tab is opened, press from the top bar on volume
4. Observe that for about 1 second you can see GNOME-shell playing a sound
5. Press fast on the OFF button for GNOME-shell
6. Close the sound window
7. Observe sound settings are at maximum from top bar but nothing will play on the system

Expected outcome

You cannot turn OFF (MUTE) gnome-shell and it should not appear under applications that play sound

Actual outcome

User can mute/turn OFF gnome-shell making the system not play any sound even if the sound levels are at maximum from top bar or that the output volume is ON

The problem would appear to be that the Application tab is not filtering out any sink-inputs (and source-outputs?) that have media.role=event.

These should be filtered as they are handled by the generic "Alert volume slider"

Confirmed here on GS 3.8.3.

I've adjusted the title to fit this general observation (as it applies to more than just gnome-shell - it can be replicated by running e.g. "canberra-gtk-play -i message-new-instant"
