Description of playback volume configuration of feedbacks

Introduction

It is possible to configure the playback volume of feedbacks for each existing backend. The configuration is based in GConf keys. Each key stores a playback volume ("off", "low", "medium" or "high") for a backend. This guide describes the configuration logic of feedback playback volumes.

Feedback volume configuration categories and configuration keys

The feedbacks are divided in three configuration categories:

Each of these categories have a GConf key path that stores the feedback volumes for each backend. The GConf key paths for the categories described above are:

Each GConf key path contains a string typed value of the feedback volume for a given backend. The key name is exactly the name reported by the backend's name() function call. The value must be one of the following: "off", "low, "medium" and "high".

The name of the feedback determines the configuration category of the feedback as described below:

Example

Let's consider a system that has two feedback backends whose name() method return "audio" and "vibra". In this case there should be following six GConf keys available:

A feedback with name "press" would be played with the general feedback volume configuration for each backend. Feedback with names "priority1_press" and "priority2_press" would be played with system- and input related feedback volume settings respectively.
