Sieghard, I would not want VO to stop announcing alerts etc.; however, what would be nice is if VO's volume could be reduced as to be below the volume of the call. I'm not sure if it would be easy to implement. ALthough, one possible option would be to have the alert sound and provided you could check the screen if you choose would be a reasonable solution. THis would add a layer of complexity since now you are asking VO to speak in the lock screen except while a call is active. Of course then others will likely want this to be a toggle option. :)
