And even if you do play back some audio you may not want to answer anyway. In most modern phone systems the reverse path is set up early so you can play a personalized busy message, a personalized ringing signal etc. It's a neat trick. Note that playback will answer the line unless given a special option. On the other hand, if you want to get *any* audio from the caller you need to answer the line. Some applications (such as dial) will answer an unanswered line before going on.
