The priority mode in Marshmallow for starred contacts works as expected for messages but is ignored for calls. Thus, if I have priority mode enabled and a starred contact sends me a message, my notification signal is played and the phone vibrates as expected. However, if the same contact calls me via Signal, no sound is played and there is no vibration.
Steps to reproduce
Mark a contact as starred in the Contacts app.
Change the behaviour of priority mode so that only starred contacts get through. In the settings of Android:
Settings -> Sound & notification -> Do not disturb -> Priority only allows.
Change "Messages" and "Calls" to From starred contacts only
Enable priority mode
Have the starred contact call you and message you via Signal
Actual result:
For messages
Notification signal is played and vibration is felt when the starred contact sends a message via Signal
For calls
Ringtone is not played and vibration is not felt when the starred contact calls via Signal
Expected result:
For messages
Notification signal is played and vibration is felt when the starred contact sends a message via Signal
For calls
Ringtone is played and vibration is felt when the starred contact calls via Signal

I think this is an Android limitation. Signal uses a regular MediaPlayer to play the sound, which is muted automatically. Notifications instead are handled by the Android system. Also, the Android API for priority mode is almost nonexistent.
