Thanks tyler, been thinking the same for long.
I think we should always inform the user if the app who's icon he is looking
at is currently active or not.

The volume slider vor VoIP mics should be visible for any type of audio
capture through the audio interface, e.g. line-in or internal mixdown.

During voice calls, microphone feedback loops should be eliminated by an
appropiate algorithm within pulseaudio IMHO. perhaps we can do that
automatically for calls.

If incoming voice calls can interrupt or suddenly alter the user's audio
experience, then we should have a way of rejecting or blocking all incoming
audio calls from the beginning.
..in order not to allow such an interruption while watching a movie or
listening to a speech..
this could be taken care of by adding an appropiate module to empathy...
perhaps controllable via the me menu..
