Yes!

That's the key thing, you need to have the audio managed out of
ModemManager, either as a separate physical channel doing the audio
right away, or via some other way, e.g. a ttyUSB port that you could
use to route audio in userspace. In that latter case, we flag the
ttyUSB as "Audio port" with udev tags, so that MM doesn't even try to
probe it.
