I am heading to work right now but if you can't figure out how to set it up right I will probably be able to help later on. Gl!
Spot on
In lieu of that setting you refer to:

I've only experienced a race condition.

Behaviors I've experienced:

1. sipdroid/VOIP rings first (this seems to be prevalent if screen is on):

a) answer within 2-3 seconds, VOIP call success.
b1) if don't answer within 2-3 seconds, goes to VM call, then if dismiss, goes to VOIP call which quickly ends itself. Fail.
b2) if don't answer within 2-3 seconds, goes to VM call, then if let ring, it rings for about 8 times, during which I've sometimes seen the VOIP call quickly display a hangup, then the screen goes back to showing the ringing VM call. Fail.


2. VM/minutes rings first (this seems to be prevalent if screen is off):

a1) dismiss call quickly: no sipdroid answer. Call is still ongoing on calling phone, but just have home screen on Optimus. Other times, it goes to voicemail a short time after the home screen shows. Fail.
a2) dismiss call quickly: sipdroid screen shows, I answer. But then quickly thereafter sipdroid hangs up by itself. Fail.
b) let ring: rings 6-8 times, then get home screen, and calling phone gets voicemail. Fail.

So in my tests, I'm only able to force an incoming call to VOIP if the screen is on when the call is made, and I'm quick on the draw in answering. I'll be lucky if that's 1% of the time.
