Volume rocker behaviour

We know about the bug of rocker is active when screen is locked and off... but what do we actually want from it? People already requested Mute/Bing/Ringtone settings instead of Mute/Ringtone setting for the Ringtone-Volume-Slider. So lets see. Basic behaviour needs to be forced but there is the actual missing value - you cannot change Ringtone-Volume by default!

  1. First of all ever and only! -> The Rocker should be active to change Music-Volume when sound is played. Additionally it would be nice to change songs too, at least with the jolla mediaplayer.
  2. some $apps in between, changing screen-brightness in gallery or Home-PgUp and End-PgDn for lists... we have the camera shutter...
  3. Ringtone-Volume should be changed when outside of apps and app is hogging it (mediaplayer is paused...)

EDIT apart of music controls this is about the volume rocker behaviour when the screen is actually ON

EDIT apart of music controls this is about the volume rocker behaviour when the screen is actually ONON, that is why the first sentence reads about the bug that the rocker is active while screen is off

Having music-controls when the device is locked in your pocket is actually a feature that is missing... (I don't know what people do in their pockets but I do not call people and I do not change songs or volumes by accident if not actually reaching for the buttons and hit them while searching for them in my pocket)
