I would second that request. Even better, would be to run a user script 
on events. For example on Answer I would have "/local/bin/phone answer" 
which would boost audio output, un-mute micphone and change mic level. 
On hangup I would have "/local/bin/phone hangup" which return audio 
output to normal, reset mic level and mute it.

I can see how a deaf person would like to run a script to blink lights 
upon ring or incoming call so they know get in front of the web cam and 
answer a call.
