There is native per-app control of sound since Microsoft Windows Vista,
which was the only thing I liked about it before migrating to GNU/Linux.

Why do you think so? I think that if such mixer is installed, by
default, on most operating systems, setting volume level of
per-application would feel like a normal thing, no?

Do you think that providing several sound files of different dB
(decibel) levels in Swift would be a good solution?


Dear Bernhard Reiter

After a rough search[0] I have found a Python-based project called
Veromix whichh is available as a Plasmoid Script[1] in KDE and in GTK+,
too, by the way. PulseAudio sound server must be installed, as it seems.

Please do report, on this mailing-list, of whether it does work for you.
