"Whilst this is a nice idea in theory, it has one major problem.
You have to teach your users that if they want to turn down the volume of a particular program they have to open up this particular preference part of the system and set it. And then in the future, they have to remember to reset things."
Yes and no. This is a home user feature, since in general you do not find people listening to sounds while at work, and a good chunk of companies have policies against it actually. So as for the user base it is not something a business IT department will have to deal with for the most part. As always there will be some exceptions, but those are few and far between.
