Something I've been considering for a while (but will never get around to, so
if somebody wants to steal the idea, please do, as I'd like to see how it works
out) is integrating a MUD system with speech-to-text software (and possibly
text-to-speech) to bridge this gap (as well as bridging the gap between
text-only users and those who wanted audio communication ability). Speech
recognition software has finally reached the point that this is actually
practical.
Of course there are still other issues like the fact that audio takes up a lot
more bandwidth than text..
