Bug Description

On touch (once bug 1368827 lands), we'll be able to set the volumes separately depending on the role (multimedia, alert, phone and alarm).

As the app provides an specific volume slider just for alarms, it needs to be changed to use this pulseaudio dbus api in order to change the volume just for the 'alarm' role.

You can find additional info for the stream restore API at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/Developer/Clients/DBus/StreamRestore/ , and a cmdline tool (in python) using the same api at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jusa/pulseaudio-utils/master/pasr.py.

Once bug 1368827 lands you should also be able to set the volume for the 'alarm' role via the indicator (and with the vol up/down buttons), but only when the alarm audio stream is active (playing).

Changing priority to Low.
Right now, the clock app communicates the alarm volume over to indicator-datetime which in turn adjusts the alarm volume
that bug however tried to removes the middle man indicator-datetime by allowing clock to directly adjust the alarm volume.

indicator-datetime does the the job, but sometimes it is nice to do things directly instead of relying on another package.

The indicator can be the proxy but it really needs to manage this in pulse and not in a separate gschema setting. Currently we have two competing volume levels, one is adjusted in the app slider the other while the alarm is sounding.

Alarm volume on Meizu Pro 5 is very loud. Even though I have system sound settings on low volume, alarm sound scares the hell out of me!
