Has anybody used the audio capabilities of the NeXT on IRC?  How difficult
would it be to redirect the byte stream from the microphone onto a channel
and redirect the corresponding channel output to the D/A converter and the
speaker?  How would one 'escape' control codes recognized by IRC?  Perhaps
one could use a shift-in/shift-out sequence with byte stuffing?  How about
using the space bar as sort of a push-to-talk switch?  Any ideas on the
performance expected across the network?

Anyone interested in discussing the questions mentioned with the goal of
eventual implementation?  I would like to suggest a dis-key conference on
channel +NeXT for Tuesday, January 29th, at 1100 EST (0800 PST & 1600 GMT).
