           Summary: Video player sets system volume to 100%
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jonathon at quotidian.org

My computer's system volume is usually set around 25%, which is fairly loud.  Whenever I open a page in webkitgtk (via Epiphany) with an html5 video, the player automatically sets its volume to 100%.  This in turn drags the system volume up to 100%, resulting in me blasted and frantically reaching for the volume knob in an effort to save my ears.

In case it's helpful, my system does use pulseaudio, and I can reproduce this behavior with other gstreamer apps (e.g. rhythmbox) by dragging their application volume knob up to 100%.  This makes me think that this is the expected behavior when setting an application's volume to 100%.  Therefore, it seems to me that it is wrong for the webkit player to set its volume to 100%.
