Its been a while since I saw this, but someone had suggested the same 
idea that Matthias has, but using ogg vorbis. Vorbis just released their 
1.0 version,  and it seems to hold up really well at 8kbps coding for 
voice. It might be worthwhile to look into since Vorbis is a patent-free 
royalty-free codec. More at http://www.vorbis.com/ and at 
http://www.xiph.org/

The payload can always be an encoded voice chunk, carried across inside 
XML.
