Bug Description

The latest Vivid image on mako (84)[1] causes the sound notification to popup each time the system starts or stops a sound. When the sound stops the notification indicates that the sound is muted, when it is in fact not. In the Music app, for instance, this is quite annoying.

Was about to post saying this is "by design" and link to the design, but it seems I missed a sentence at the end of the design:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#Output.2BAC8-volume_change_notification

Where output role changes need to surpress the notifications.

So we're going to land a branch that makes the a lot less annoying, but there still are a couple of notifications we'd like to clean up. That's because we're not filtering out the event changes at the core of the roles. Once we fix the core, the notifications will in turn get cleaned up. That core work is going to be tracked here:
