"When both sides keep silence, there no sound at all in speakers. It's normal practive in IP telephony to substitute silence with a very small generated noise. That increase impression, that connection stil exists."

Thanks for your bug report.
What you are asking for is named "Comfort noise" and should be implemented in Farsight/GStreamer; not Empathy.
