Empathy needs audible indication for VoIP dialing, to show connection status

[Vitaly]

When making VoIP connection, empathy just silently show dialog box.

There should be also the same audible behavior, like for telephone (or skype) calls - beeps. That's more usual.

Thanks for your bug report and helping to make Ubuntu better. It would be nice if someone could forward this upstream to the developers of the software following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue , in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install , that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project.

 feature request is not a papercut

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

Are there any news about this bug? Has someone affected by this bug sent the report upstream? May you tell us the bug number? Thanks in advance.

This looks like it has been closed upstream:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575008

Possibly related to available sound files?

upstream says they have fixed it but if ubuntu don't have the required sound files how can one hear the sound.
