If it works with pavucontrol, then it sounds more like a GNOME issue to me.

For this to work, Ekiga needs to set mark the ringer stream as an
event sound, it should then go to the default device. Of course this
requires that the ringer is a separate stream; and it won't work if
Ekiga is using ALSA instead of PA directly (I have no idea whether
Fedora 15 bundles the PA output plugin).
