Incoming call's ringtone doesn't play if the sound theme is muted in GNOME's sound preferences

Description
If the volume is set to zero/muted in gnome-control-center's sound preferences in the "Sound effects" tab, Empathy will not play the ringing sound when there's an incoming call.
Given that a call is probably considered an urgent event, perhaps the mute property should be ignored (unless the user is "Busy")... if Empathy has control over such a thing.
