this is not a regression

Sorry for the delay. The issue here is that probably we are 'playing' with the wrong audiochannel when the user wants to change the volume.

By default the AudioChannel in use is the 'normal' but this can be changed using AudioChannelManager API.

navigator.mozAudioChannelManager.volumeControlChannel = 'telephony' should be enough when we are in a call. But before answering we should set it to 'ringer' because I guess they are 2 different channels.

We don't have any API to inform the app if we have an existing active call, and in case we need to differentiate between ringer and telephony, probably we have to extend the AudioChannelManager interface.

rlin should now more.

Dear John, 
I checked your video clips and found you want to mute the "Incall Volume", right?
Refer to GSM phone call, It's by design. 
Also, while to device is waiting to receiving the incoming call, 
The user can change the ringtone volume by volume key.

Dear Randy,
Yes, I was trying to mute the volume while attempting to make a Loop call. It didn't seem to mute completely on the build I originally sent this issue. I see that this is by design after seeing your comment from #7. However it looks like you were able to mute completely in the video you referenced. Please let me know if there is anything else.

==>it looks like you were able to mute completely in the video you referenced.
On that timestamp, the device just rings, not enter the in-call mode. 
The behavior is muting the ringtone, not the voice sound.

Decided to minus it. Please nominate it again if there is any concern.

Comment 12

[Kai-Chih Hu [:khu]]

Beatriz, is it an expected behaviour?

Comment 13

[Maria Angeles Oteo (:oteo)]

I think it's working as expected, if you press down the volume (telephony channel) you will able to lower the volume but not completely because there is always a minimum sound.

In fact, the behavior in Loop is the same than for the GSM calls in FxOS so imho we should close the bug as Invalid.
