           Summary: (wishlist) Application-specific control for enabling

SUMMARY
Hopefully this is the right product - I am not sure. 

I would like to propose a feature that allows toggling notification sounds on
or off in a particular application's notification settings. We already have
per-app controls for showing popups, showing notifications in history, showing
notification badges and configuring per-event settings. 

If the app supports configuring notifications on a per-event basis, this is
already possible by configuring the event not to play a sound. Otherwise, this
is not possible.

My personal annoyance with this feature not being present is that I have to
entirely disable notifications from Spotify's (poor) client, as I have no way
to disable the notification chime when a notification that a new song is
playing appears. I am sure many other circumstances where such a feature would
be useful exist.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Procure an application that does not have support for configuring
notifications on a per-event basis (e.g. Firefox, Spotify)
2. Try to disable notification sounds for that particular app


OBSERVED RESULT
No setting to disable notification sounds exists.

EXPECTED RESULT
A setting exists.
