This library provides simple API for integrating some voicechat features.It evolved from RaidVoice addon. RaidVoice addon is my main project that uses this library to enable people to see each other when speaking on external voice chat like TeamSpeak or Ventrillo. Purpose of this library is to provide transparent overlay over global functions and events. Any ace3 addon can recieve voice events as if they came from ingame voicechat, this can be beneficial mainly for unitframes. You can also use this library to broadcast talking players. Supported is both push to talk and voice activation. Muted players support is included too.

Supported events:

VOICE_START

VOICE_STOP

MUTELIST_UPDATE

How it works:

Library should snoop on addon channel communication and use small cache to store who is speaking. When voice status of any players changes callback will be fired through ace. Push to talk effect is gained by binding a key to function that notifies other players. Voice activation requires in-game voicechat to be enabled and microphone activation level to be set.Then a short loopback sound is recorded, if the treshold is reached, players are notified in same way as before.
