Bug Description

A followup to bug #1504065 suggested by davmor2 in #phablet.

<davmor2> charles, jhodapp: with silo 46 I have an issue. On first boot and possibly every day after that, if you try and watch a video from the device, you get a popup saying audio is loud accept or what ever, this popup takes focus from the media player and therefore pauses the video, when you click on yes is there a way we can continue playback for the audio warnings?

As a followup to davmor2's suggestion, you could actually resume playback whenever the dialog is dismissed.

When the warning pops up, indicator-sound also clamps the sink input's volume back to one notch below the warning level. So even if the user hits "Cancel" instead of "OK", we're always legal when the dialog is dismissed.

My biggest issue with this is that if you watch videos as a commuter you will be hit by this issue every day which doesn't make for a great user experience.

If the tapping on yes were to continue playback then the video plays as the user would expect, I think this then become a more user friendly way of dealing with the issue.

I don't understand what this has to do with indicator-sound. Wouldn't exactly the same problem exist if we had no sound indicator at all? I gave my opinion on what the media player should do in bug 1504065, but I'm not involved with the design of that app.
