OK. I'l try it and then send you report. But it will not be 
soon: I need some time for reading docs in English... -:) 

But what will do peoples who used no ALSA, but OSS, 
kernel-builtin threated OSS, etc?

I know, but default release time in KDE is 60 seconds. It's too 
long for ansvering for calls, and low-level users (who migrated 
to Linux from Win and know only office tools like OpenOffice 
etc.) will never guess to do this...

If you don't want to kill applications - maybe, it's possible to 
force releasing of coundcards with forcing of temporary 
"slieeping" another applications for the call-answer period?
