--- Comment #7 from Arun Raghavan <arun at accosted.net> ---
It is expected that applications use the stream volume as a stream volume, and
it should not be necessary for them to be aware of the change to the system
volume. Users should not be surprised by this either, since it is standard
behaviour across all applications on their desktop.

The exception to this is related to the comment Alexander makes. If your
application allows programmatic access to the volume (such as JavaScript does
in browser loading a web page <audio> or <video> elements), then there needs to
be a way to not have flat volumes apply. This is something that we're still
working on a reasonable solution for upstream.

Either way, though, this is not a GStreamer bug, and I don't believe this needs
to be documented in GStreamer.
