Yes, it is bad, but if there was a standard volume co
This discussion is interesting, and it made me think of a question I
don't know the answer to:
Do users actually want to adjust volume for each application?
I already find it annoying having to adjust volume system-wide now. Do
I really want to have to adjust per window?

Diego, that's exactly what I'm talking about: for you it doesn't make
sense that a movie sound is interrupted by an incoming e-mail alert,
so why should it, right? A movie/music is ranked higher than e-mail

In that case, a per application micro-management as proposed in this
discusion is too cumbersome.
A viable implementation for this "priorities" concept would be to provide a
list of priorized categories (pre-populated with categories for the most
common usage cases), allowing the association of ea
