Android newbie here. While i'm on a phone call i receive text notifications that are just beeps. Those are cool because only i can hear it. But sometimes i receive GTalk notifications and they are loud ringers than even my callers can hear on the other end. Is there a way to fix this?

There is an option under Settings (system), Call Settings, All Calls, Alerts On Call. But it looks like that will disable everything...

The answer is linked volume. Much to my chagrin, I discovered that in order to automatically disable incoming notifications while on a call, the "alerts" and "ringer" volumes must be linked (default). While unlinked, they are more granular to manage (and my preference), but they alert notifications are not silenced during a call. Pretty logical really, but perhaps a feature that can be addressed in a future update. =)

Just wonderful...taking functionality away in future releases. Nice.
