<div>I would also like to see this type of patch, as it would give
better response feedback to my customer base. Currently, they
hear _either_ a very long silence (on some international calls, as an
example) _or_ they hear a ringtone and then I have to play back the
error message of my own, which often has nothing to do with the actual
message that is played back from the distant end. Having a mix
based on circumstance would be ideal.</div>

<div>Please reply to this thread with the patch # in bugzilla if you
create such a variable-based method.</div>
