Indeed we already have an implementation of various contextual volumes or otherwise known as audio roles. There currently is a bug related to the audio roles that I have a fix for in silo 53 [1] if you're comfortable with and interested in testing it. The bug that it fixes is [2]. Basically the 5 roles that we have are:
1. Music/Video Role (these are separate at the QtMultimedia level but for Touch we make them one and the same 2. AlarmRole - e.g. clock app's alarm use this 3. NotificationRole - e.g. SMS/Telegram message received sounds use this 4. RingtoneRole - e.g. incoming call ringtone 5. VoiceCommunicationRole - e.g. a VOIP app If you have any further questions on this just let me know.
