This might help for some of it - I've let Skype have the USB headset,
but it causes problems because I can't hear the ring when I'm away from
the desk. So in Options, Notifications, Advanced I have

/usr/bin/play /usr/share/skype/sounds/CallRingingIn.wav repeat 3

which rings on the speaker. I had to mess with the number of repeats to
get it right - if you pick up the call before it completes the repeats,
it just keeps going...

Cheers,
