Things for the Ears

Vision

For Plasma users Plasma Volume provides a way to change relevant sound volume in a quick and easy manner. Unlike KMix it is built using Plasma and integrates visually into the Plasma system tray. Unlike veromix it doesn't bury the user in options they will not ever need.

Personas

Susan, 34, Recreational user. While Susan seldom uses her computer for work, it has become an essential part of her social life. With her computer, she can be creative and spread this creativity in the world. She chats with her friends, shares music, playlists and other media, creates videos and uploads them to her web space, and runs a blog with her own style. She can't imagine a life without her laptop. Still, she is a fun person and does not want to worry about technical details. She expects her machine to work.
