Yes, it's a wise move if you're using SIP. The RTP streams usually exists on
a block of 4 random ports between 10000 and 30000 (but depending on the
hardware or software you're using, you could probably narrow this down
some).

If you're using IAX2, you can usually get away with just applying QoS to
port 4569 on the box.

Not really, you want the prioritization on traffic coming to or from the WAN
interface. Given most folks are running 100mbps or gigabit networks, I doubt
packet prioritization on the lan side is a big deal (and if it is, you'll
want to do this at the switch level).

Yes, I'd say so, though others may disagree. Again, you want it acting on
the WAN interface, not the LAN interface for the same reason as above. The
interface the device is connected to isn't relevant here, since you want the
prioritization to apply to the 'net, not to the local network.
