Headsets and Sounds

One thing that I can not believe has been addressed yet is the lack of control over notification sound. Like most Skype for Bus users if you use it for voice chats you have a headset plugged in and Skype set to use it. When in that config all notification sounds for incoming calls and new IM's go to the headset sitting on the desk and are missed unless you are looking at the screen. This is basic stuff to using the client. When might we get this "feature"?

    Mine is consistent. If my headset it set up for the Mic and Speaker in the client all sounds go to it. If I unplug my headset and just have the laptop alone then I hear everything but if I get on a call I have to talk over my laptop speaker and mic.

    It seems to go out to the main speakers once or twice on reboot (not just restart) before bugging out and only going to headset for me.
