This isn't exactly the same thing, but it's related to what you're working
on.  FYI.

My clan (C9) and the Stanford Graphics Quake Project put together a little
thing called "quakecom" a while back for doing audio communication during
Clan matches, on unmodified Quake servers.  There's a readme file at

    http://lemur.stanford.edu/clan9/downloads/quakecom/readme.txt

and a Linux version of the program at

    http://lemur.stanford.edu/clan9/downloads/quakecom/linux/quakecom

Basically it's a proxy program that everyone on your team would have to run
between their client and the Quake server.  You would also have to
distribute to each team member the set of .wav files to use and a config
file.

We never really released this publically because

    1) we couldn't get the SGQP guys motivated to compile a Windows
       version of the Quake library of theirs that we were using :-) and
    2) it seemed a little wasteful to use a whole proxy for doing this.
       What if you also wanted to use the FAQ-Proxy?  Then you have to
       set up and connect through both proxies, what a mess.

The answer is that we've handed the code over to the FAQ-Proxy guys who are
more than likely going to include this feature into the next version of the
FAQ-Proxy, along with other features for team communication.  And probably
soon, since I think they're shooting to have it available for MPOG's
upcoming clan tournament.
