[quake3] About adding (VoIP) voice chat support

[Joerg Dietrich]

Ryan,

Did you do some mixing on the server?
(decode all incoming packets, mix them, reencode to one single stream)
Or did you just resend all incoming packets to all clients?
The first approach would lower the traffic to the client
but would need more CPU-time on the server.
