The Idea is to create more subcategories which are the following:

-Media Players (Music Players and video players)
The place for every kind of player, backends and Media center

-Video editors and tools
The place where every audio editor and their tools should be.

-Audio Editors and tools (DAWs, effects, score writers, converters, etc.)
This is the musicians' corner. The apps with audio modification ability should be here. This is also a good place for Audio converters, Mp3 TAG editors etc.

-System tools
In this subcategory people can find drivers, codecs and volume controls and everything what is connected with the system sound/video!

A player that can be both compact and expanded, and can be called by the sound icon Panel.

To expand just click the library icon, and to collect, just click again.

The player fully integrates to unity interface and looks very modern. "

The idea can be voted on: http:///idea/brainstorm.ubuntu.com/29966

Como simples conceito de design, propus a construção do que batizei como Unity Player.

Um player que pode ser chamado a partir do applet de som e possui dois modos.

1- Modo compacto [primeira acima]

Create a new music player is not necessary, we need a new mail reader integrated to the system and a better UI for Totem or a fronted to mplayer in replacement of Totem like Audience of Elementary OS: http://www.bestubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/b6d9d__audience-watch.jpg and this http://www.bestubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/b6d9d__audience-load.png

[Edit]
Uma modificação do totem seria aceitável, deixando-o como no link abaixo

Instead of creating a whole new music player and mail reader just for Unity, we should just try to make Rhythmbox integrate more on the Interface.

For example, the top panel being solid when it is not in use and then translucid just like in the mockup when a menu is used. Then, when the menu is opened, the user has full control of the music player: change songs, playlist, love/hate on last.fm, etc.

The message menu should also allow the user to quickly see if new e-mails arrived without the need to open the application and to make quick replies to empathy.

The idea proposed was nice, but I think we should stick to the default applications and offer an easy way for third apps to also integrate more to the Unity ecosystem.

In the Sound Menu bar below or above the volume scroller, place a progress slider.

Simple as that.

Somehow integrate the content from Sound Settings output tab in the sound dropdown IF there is more than one sink detected. Users who are not aware of the function to play audio on a remote server might not want this option visible in the menu. This would give a lot faster and more natural handling of the switch between sinks.

The remote sinks appear automatically in the Sound Settings as long as "Make discoverable PulseAudio devices available locally" is selected in paprefs. Therefore the solution should be to simply make those options more accessible.

Don't make the user have to install paprefs. Instead put the same configuration options or at least the Network Access ones in Sound Settings directly. This way the function will be more obvious to a user that is unaware of this functionality.

The network access feature of PulseAudio is a feature that can truly stand out and make Ubuntu stand apart from it's competitors:

Ubuntu user: "Hey, did you know that I can play music to any computer at home from any other just by selecting it in the Sound Settings?"

The sound menu should add the ability to seek or fast-forward/rewind, such as the hover-over-notification-icon function banshee had (I'm not sure if Rhythmbox had it because I never used it), along with an option to close the player (such as an X beside the name of the player or text option below the album art)

option to close the player, such as an X beside the name of the player or text option below the album art. One may want to close the media player so it doesn't take up resources, but would find it much more convenient to just have the close in the sound menu.

In addition to a close option described in solution #2, sound menu should have song progress slider, so one can play his favourite part of song again without having to open player.

Let user decide what he wants in Sound menu. Add options to show/hide album cover, song progress slider etc. to Banshee preferences.

In sound preferences, with the sound applet on, any device/profile combination could be marked as a favorite. It could then be selected directly from the applet menu. This would be similar to OS X's quick menu for display resolutions, but would be more like a favorites menu than a history menu.

Take the speaker and send a specific sound to all of them that a Microfon could record and search in the soundcard the specific sound. If you found it you had the microfon.

Otherway you could detect every connected Speaker and with the right signal you get the type of speaker and set the right settings.

With User feedback you could detect also headphones.

This could be added as a simple checkbox option in the sound prefrences window.

Go to Youtube. Hover over the volume slider and notice how it appears smoothly with no clicking. This is a far, far more usable control. It's clear that extensive usability testing has gone into the Youtube volume slider. It would be great to see similar improvements made in Gnome.

My guess is, that 90% of all users control their pc with the help of a mouse with wheel. If so, place your mouse at the speaker symbol and scroll the wheel. As simple as that. And keep consistency to control methods of ubuntu - don't give special treatment to only the sound control.
