Volume about mediasession HOT 7 CLOSED

On Android there are multiple volumes, and which volume is changed depends on what kind of audio the app claims to be playing. So it's neither per-app nor global, really. I'm not even sure if volume button events get router to the app.

This is the same on iOS, where you have "ringer" and "media" volume. However, it is also not possible to control per app. I know this is not in the MediaSession API, but maybe we can remove mention of volume from the README?

Sure, we should avoid any impression that volume buttons would be routed to any API so that apps could implement it by setting HTMLMediaElement.volume or something. Ducking and stream type is still related though, so it's not the case that volume is entirely a separate issue. Pull request?

Fixed by #15

Now that Chrome has the Global Media Controls, individual volume controls for media makes sense. So many players have their own separate volume control. @foolip whaddya think?

@Poopooracoocoo sorry I've not been following my GitHub notifications lately.

Note that each media element already has separate volume control (via the volume property) but perhaps this isn't what you're asking for? If not, please file a new issue so that the people now maintaining this spec see it :)
