What kind of phones are you using? We are using Mitel Phones and are running them on 3548p's with the following port config (100 is data, 300 is voice):
switchport mode general switchport general allowed vlan add 100,300 switchport general pvid 100
The phones do the rest, sorting tagged packets from vlan 300 and passing untagged 100 on to the data port. We didn't end up having to do anything special with the voice VLAN (although I'm not saying that is a bad option, just didn't apply). Also when a computer connects straight to the port, without a phone in the middle, they are still able to access data on vlan 100.

Would general mode and trunk mode be the same thing in this case?
