I agree with you that it is not the way we should do. For me the 
decision to start or stop the ringing tone should be left to the 
software that reacts to the incoming call signal. Then the configuration 
file should depends of the software. Fun thing to try : kill zhone on 
FSO, and call the phone, it will still ring.

But, in the framework we want to include a full customizable events 
system, that will be useful when you want to programs context rules, 
like : when I enter into my house, set profile to Silent, etc...
So the moment we use this mechanism to start and stop the ring tone. 
Maybe in the future we will move that out of the framework, but the 
events manager system will stay, because it has many other uses.

Yes, that is why I say, the software should decide of the way it reacts 
to an incoming call.

Well, it is very new, I just added this to the framework a few days ago. 
It uses the yaml syntax [0] that I like a lot . If you want to see the 
code, download the framework daemon [1], and have a look at the files in 
subsystems/oeventsd/ It is all in python and there is enough 
documentation to get the idea.
As soon as the framework team accepts this thing, I will create a 
tutorial on how to create custom rules in the freesmartphone wiki [1]
