Turn off PulseAudio panel plugin volume notification for a program

When using PulseAudio panel plugin there is a setting where you can choose to show or hide the volume notification dialog it generates.
I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to be able to hide this volume notification dialog but only for one program, for example MPV.

Thank you for any information shared

Ahh so this is probably not possible?
It is a setting that is just on or off, cannot be added in any way to a command line command, such as one with the application MPV.

You can use xfconf-query to programmatically change the values, those being:

• 0 = None

• 1 = All

• 2 = Output Only

• 3 = Input Only

The command is:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/plugin-8/show-notifications -s VALUE

...where "8" is the actual plugin ID on your system and VALUE is one of the values from above.

And no, it doesn't appear the plugin directly supports per-application notification settings.
