Gnome extension which allows the control of the volume of individual applications as well as a more in depth control of mpris aware applications from a single applet.
Activate the extension through Gnome Extensions
Firstly the extension requrires pulseaudio to be compiled with dbus support. However if the module isn't loaded when the extension starts, then it will go ahead and load it manually.
On load the built-in volume indicator is moved from its position in the rightmost menu, and a new dropdown menu is created.
The icon for each stream acts as a mute button. Clicking it will mute/unmute the stream. If there is more than one sink or source available to pulseaudio, then the little drop down arrow next to the volume slider will allow the user to select the desired device. Clicking on the label of an input stream, will attempt to switch to the window that owns that stream. However this is done by process ID, so if a single proces has many windows, e.g. firefox, or doesn't let the window manager track it, e.g. minecraft, then it won't be able to accurately select the source. In the case of firefox, it will simply select one of the process windows, while for minecraft, nothing will happen. If a stream originates from an MPRIS application, then the stream will have some very basic controls as well as a small bit of information about the stream.
I should say that this extension was inspired largly by two other excellent extensions, Advanced Volume Mixer which the original developer seems to have stopped updating, which is why I initially decided to develop this, and Media player indicator.
