What if there was a way to not need any voice communication programs, you could talk to your friend in the game, well radios, some people may call them walkie-talkies but whatever. The Radio is a either hand held item or placeable it will take up half the width and length of the block it is on here is a diagram to further show that

there you have it, if this is done correctly when placed the walkie talkie will be in the position of the and the green being the block under it, it will have a gui with a menu with all the players in the server there will be a public chat room and you can connect to people privately in side-rooms. For example "Superminecraftdude(Me)"

But the private chats may not be that private, this part won't have much effect for creative but when another player comes close to a person in a private chat with someone else, they can here in on their conversation (promoting the idea of clans and warfare, with spies warriors etc.) An option will appear in there gui saying something like (Observer PRC (private chat)) they can enter the chat through that option with no notices and hear your conversation. This would be a great extension to all those smp servers and i think their host's would agree with me (especially clan smp servers) like Project art of War (Which is a great server)
Hopefully you guys like the idea, it will be crafted like this
Post your feedback and if this is successful i'll turn all the positive feedback players into supporters if it's ok with them, i'll send you a pm if i want you on the supporters list
I like the idea of walkie talkies with limited range for VOIP chat, but this could put stress on servers.
What about long range staionary radios for bases? It might make a nice addition to the usual procedure for setting up a small base camp; secure perimeter, build shelter, make crafting bench, furnace, torches, etc. Placing a radio in SMP would help you to feel like your teammates aren't as far away...
Most servers already allow forms of restricted chat, so VOIP would be the way to go.
ya the 20 block range is only for people who want to hear in, but the radio could probably go a good 500 blocks, which should be good enough for base communication
