Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It seems it now uses the notification sound channel for incoming calls. It should use the ringtone channel. I always have notification volume at 0, because I don't want sounds for emails, etc, but I want to have sounds for incoming calls.

Describe the solution you'd like
Play incoming call sounds through the ringtone channel.

Describe alternatives you've considered
For now I unmuted notifications, but then I have to one-by-one mute all other apps notifications.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the Android handling for incoming-call sounds and the audio-channel configuration; confirm how notification and ringtone channels are selected. Done means incoming calls use the ringtone volume independently of notification volume, with relevant behavior covered by tests if the project provides them.
