Per spec, if an app/game is playing sounds but not music, that is the "alert" output role. As long as an alarm is not sounding, a phone call is not in progress, and you're not playing music some other way, all volume controls should adjust the volume of that app's sounds. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#primary-output>
In other words, if apps "obey the media volume setting" for things that aren't music/video, that's probably a bug. I just realized that when I added output roles to the spec, I updated the design for the System Settings slider and the volume buttons, but I neglected to update the design for the indicator slider to match. Spec updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound?action=diff&rev2=148&rev1=147> But that doesn't seem to be related to this bug report, and I still have no reason to think that this bug report is valid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu.

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.
