Well ... lack of additional functionality is just that, but not a bug. It does what it's supposed to do without breaking, so I'd say you should file an enhancement request. It *would* be nice to have that kind of control, though. NSSound does seem very bare-bones.


It seems targeted at 'beeps' and other UI feedback things. In this case, I'd sort of expect it to play back at whatever system volume the user had set. To do otherwise isn't really keeping the user in mind in most situations. After all, all you can really do is *lower* the volume of the sound relative to the system volume. If you do otherwise, you're really stepping on the user's toes. I'd personally either remove or empty the sound file in the app's bundle if an app did that to me. ;-)

NSSound's lack of volume control makes sense to me is what I'm saying, I guess.

I started out by using NSSound, but this, oddly, allows no control whatever
over the characteristics of the sound's playback (volume, etc.). FWIW, I
regard this as a bug in NSSound, since who wouldn't want this sort of
control?
