Well, I'm not going to comment on specific implementations, but let's be
clear on basic concepts.

The UAS generates ringtones; not some other entity.

To most people, distinctive ring is a choice the UAS makes based on the
identity of the caller.

The UAC may express its preference using ALERT-info, but the UAS is not
obligated to honor it.

While we are at it, Ringback in most systems is a UAC function.  The UAS
could indicate its preference using ALERT-info, but the UAS is not obligated
to honor it.
