Out of curiosity, if the point where you start to get hearing damage with loud streams is eg. 30%, and you configure the maximum volume to be that 30%, what would you do with the stream that you'd like to push to 50%? This feature request is valid in any case, though. It has been discussed before, and we do want to eventually make the maximum device volume configurable.

But then the user has done it and is aware that they're in an unsafe state and can bump it back down when they're done with the quiet audio. It's not ideal, and I wonder if there's a better solution that could work intelligently with flat volumes. *** Bug 65568 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.
