He said that above, he's using a key-bind inside WoW to detect push-to-talk situations,
and the in-game voice activation to detect the voice-activation situations.
(since out of game voice activation would trigger in-game voice activation if you have it enabled).

Same trick in principle x2.

I use 2 Things

1) push to talk key as mentioned by Adirelle
2) voice activated chat is made as follows:
User enables blizzard ingame chat and set activation volume
addon records loopback sound at regular intervals and reads microphone value
if value is above activation volume the user is speaking

[Adirelle]

I don't not really know how the internal push-to-talk works. Could you use the voice-chat keybinding for your library ?

[sylvanaar]

Ok. His question was how should he communicate over the addon channel, so he can do that directly from his library using SendAddonMessage() with "RAID" distribution. He can also register CHAT_MESSAGE_ADDON in his library in order to recieve any messages that are sent by other players

[Adirelle]

IMO a library using built-in settings (e.g. voice activation level and push-to-talk button) and mimicking built-in voice-chat methods and events should be quite straightforward to write. Obviously, the library should wrap built-in events and statuses so the addon would only use one entry point.

Hi, i have finally achieved what i wanted and submitted libraidvoice for approval. Simple library that can be included in unitframes and used there.

example of addon that uses my library and prints speaking players (who have raidvoice)

RV =LibStub:GetLibrary("libRaidVoice-1.0");
RV.RegisterCallback(self,"RAIDVOICE_UPDATE","voiceUpdate")
			 	

function MyAddon:voiceUpdate(event, arg1)

print(arg1);
--prints playername or nill if player stops speaking

end

If you are author of unitframe please do try it.You can make those speakers like in blizz interface now. I am expecting feedback.
