Volume control (when a Playback stream stops, eg app notification), add a delay so user can change volume
In the ‘System’ / ‘Sound Settings’ window (or the ‘Audio Volume’ notification pop-up, which shows each application’s playback stream volume (currently “playing audio streams”), when an application which uses sound only for notifications and does not seem to honour the ‘Notification Sounds’ ‘Playback Stream’ volume setting, it is very difficult to adjust the volume for such an application.
This is due to the application appearing only when there is playback. After playback is finished the application is quickly removed from the ‘Playback Streams’ list, therefore making volume adjustment of said application “very challenging”.
Adding a simple optional delay to the removal of applications in the ‘Playback Streams’ list will allow users to control the volume for such applications.
I propose adding in the ‘Configure Volume Controls’ windows, to add a tick-box object and an input control object like the ‘Volume Control step’ control next to it that has the value for the Playback Streams Application List delay feature. The input box should accepts values in seconds from 1 to 59 seconds.
If the feature is enabled (ticked tick-box), whatever value in the input box determines the delay before the removal of the application that has finished playback from the "Playback Streams’ list.
Thus allowing them to individually customize the playback volume of each application that uses notifications and isn’t lighting fast to get to the Volume ‘Playback Streams’ list and adjust the volume of said application.
For the Dev who gets this implemented, I will send a donation in USDT on the TON or BEP20 chain as a sign of appreciation and in supporting development of KDE Plasma.
Noyr: KDE Plamsa advised that this should be requested via the distribution, thus this question. If this request (suggestion) should be somewhere else, please advise as prior instructions to report a bug and change the bug to 'wishlist' do not seem to be be correct any longer.
