Hm... seems to me that this is fairly easy to accomplish. Using the 
"out-of-band" namespace, one could pass the URL to a live MP3 stream ala 
SHOUTcast (www.shoutcast.com) or Icecast (www.icecast.org) servers. Two 
clients that wish to communicate via voice would just exchange each other's 
URL pointing to the port that their individual servers are streaming. Then 
it is simply a matter of mic'ing the sound card. :)

This is a quick-and-dirty solution, however. One could also take the 
Icecast server, which is open source, and integrate it into a client to 
create a more feature rich application.

And, I agree to what someone said earlier... Vorbis is the way to go for 
the codec. Once again, it is free and open source (I think). The Frauhoffer 
(sp?) codec is the most widely used and, suddenly realizing this, 
Frauhoffer has decided to implement a transactional licensing fee to 
*every* streamed and downloaded MP3. So nice of them...

This is not really what i was thinking of.
They want to do speech-recognition and send text.
I meant client-to-client-streamed-audio-transport.
(is my english really THAT bad ? ;-)
I'd really like to start this project but i might need some
help.
