Description
If some crazy flash ads in Firefox start playing sound I mute those crazy bastards in PulseAudio, (I do not mute all the sound, so I can still listen to music). But once firefox is closed, those settings disappear!!! meaning: once I re-open firefox, flash has sound again!!!
I hate when those bastards just scare the hell out of me when I'm listening to music or something.... so I would like to have flash ALWAYS muted, something PulseAudio does not allow!
Why can't PulseAudio just remember these settings for each program?!?! Seems easy to implement...
It would be sooo nice...
PS: This is only possible in PulseAudio with the GUI installed: padevchooser

There should be a setting in the Flash plugin to disable sound...
Thank god, I use flashblock...

Sure I know I can use something like flashblock or NoScript... But this is a much better solution for this problem that users like me have...

It's not only flash that is the problem, there are lots of other plugins for browsers...
Besides, Firefox is not the only browser... and even not talking about browsers, lots of "regular" programs have sound that may be annoying...
So Flashblock is not a solution for this problem.
PulseAudio should just remember the settings.
But thanks anyway...

You can do this in PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol).
Unfortunately this GUI tool is not installed by default, but it is in repo.

@ Lex
I know I can, the only problem is that it does not remember those settings!

In Firefox, the Flashblock, Adblock Plus, and NoScript extensions should be able to disable those ads for you. It might save you some bandwidth as well.

@bescritt yeah, thanks, those are good programs, but like i said:
-Sounds can come from many browsers
-each browser can have many plugins
-even non-browser programs can have annoying sounds...
So that would not be enough... :(
