It's actually a feature, i think there is a setting to disable it.
There is, but it's supposed to only apply to video clips from my understanding. The code at https://github.com/haiku/haiku/blob/master/src/apps/mediaplayer/Controller.cpp#L355 doesn't perform this check.

I can't reproduce this as it is described. MediaPlayer only plays at a lower volume when in background (and activated in the settings) if there are more than one MediaPlayer windows running. If you have just one MediaPlayer and switch to any other app, it keeps playing with the set volume.
This feature is nice for demonstrations, where you open 12 videos and a few audios. The audience isn't overwhelmed and can concentrate on the thing having focus. For everyday use, it's not an issue because you either only have one MediaPlayer running at a time anyway, or you disable the feature via its setting.
It could be argued to disable it by default, I guess.

Why would it only apply to videos?

Sound files are usually run in the background, Video is more of an up front and in your face media. It doesn't feel right to have the volume change on a sound file if you focus on another window, but seems reasonable for video.
Just my twio cents.
