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.

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