I use phoneamego to do exactly this. Its in the app store.
It anounces caller names from my iphone, and when answered mutes the TV and/or sonos (via the plug in), turning them back up when the phone is hung up (if only one person is in the house). It pauses plex and turns a side light on if a film is playing when the phone is answered, resuming at the end of a call.
I also use it as a proximity sensor via bluetooth to turn lights on when returning home, and if movement is detected when bluetooth is not connected, it reminds me to charge the phone.
You can connect a number of phones at the same time I believe.
It also allows dial buttons to be included on control pages - sadly I have a take-away control page with the local numbers programmed.
Very easy to set up, just running external apple script and sending variables to Indigo.
Not sure if you could do this with a landline or not?!?
