Traffic shaping ONLY deals with outgoing traffic, not incoming: you can't prevent your correspondents from crowding out their voice packets with other data traffic, because in that case the bottleneck is not under your control. Most likely, their outbound bandwidth is insufficient (a common case with Asymmetric DSL), and _they_ should perform traffic shaping. I don't think that IMQ may achieve anything useful except in special cases (e.g., when local resources like CPU, bus or disk are snowed under a deluge of low-priority data); it can't possibly resolve congestion at the sender's side.
Have you tried another correspondent, like e.g. www.freeworlddialup.com 's echotest? If it sounds good even with heavy concurrent data traffic, your shaping should be fine.
