            Bug ID: 441236
           Summary: Request: allow adjusting volume for applications that
                    are not currently playing audio
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: david.cortes.rivera at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When I click the sound widget, it's possible to change the (audio) volumes of
applications that are currently playing audio, but oftentimes one wants to
change the volume of an application *before* it starts playing, which is not
possible to do, even if the application already has a configured non-default
audio setting.

Would be nice if there could be a checkbox or similar in the sound widget
pop-up to show all applications and adjust the volume without having them
playing sound.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put the sound widget on the taskbar.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. Click the sound widget, select the "Applications" tab (default is
"Devices").
4. Try to change the volume of the web browser before watching a video.

OBSERVED RESULT
Not possible to adjust the volume until the application starts playing sound,
even if it's currently set to a non-default setting.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should be possible to change the volume before an application starts playing
sound. Perhaps should keep a list of applications for which the volume has
previously been adjusted.
