Use STREAM_RING instead of STREAM_MUSIC?

I was wondering if such a feature already exists or not? I noticed that when a sound is playing, the user can adjust the level up or down, even to silent. But it's adjusting the "Media", not the actual device sound. So a user might have the device sound still at 100% but the media sound at 0% which then prevents the sound from being heard at all.

I investigated a bit and found this is due to the plugin using "STREAM_MUSIC" instead of "STREAM_RING". Is there any easy way to change it to STREAM_RING?

Search the Android implementation for the STREAM_MUSIC usage mentioned in the issue and compare it with STREAM_RING. Verify the resulting volume behavior on an Android device; done means the plugin adjusts the intended device sound level without preventing media playback.
