Minimize caller feedback echo by disabling left speaker (where the mic is located)

Callers frequently complain about hearing themselves when using the default 
speakers and mic on a 
Macbook/MBP.  Skype solved this problem by disabling the audio output on the 
left side and 
specifically have the Caller's audio outputted on the Right speaker only.  
Since the Microphone is 
located on the left side of the macbook, with the Left-side speaker eliminated, 
this does a great 
deal to help remove the delayed audio feedback, and is simple to implement.  It 
would be great if 
Telephone followed Skype's easy fix in solving this feedback problem.

However, (apart from the headphone entry crashing bug) when the headphones are 
plugged back 
in, the audio should be audible on both left and right headphones.  The 
right-side only audio output 
should only be implemented when the call is in speakerphone mode and not when 
the call made 
over headphones.
