also latency times would be a bigger factor with a plugin like this.

That is not how the application works. The admin does not talk to the server or some program running on it. Instead you have a little program running on the Client-PC with which you play on the server. This programm activates the voice recognition engine (
Speech SDK 5.1 for Windows® applications) when pressing some hotkey. Recognizable strings are predefined in an easily editable xml file, which also contains the commands sent to the server when one of those strings is recognized. These commands can be anything you want, depending on the plugins you install on your server ... just like you would put them in the clcmds.ini of amxmodx. The server command itself can then be easily transfered to the server process via rcon.
The server config itsself does not have to be changed. Admins will have to train their recognition engine individually as it will be installed on their own PCs only. Authentication will be done by having access to the rcon password of your server. Or, if you want to give different access levels to different admins, that network inteface protocol of SM would be ideal for that.
That wouldn't consume too much of your bandwith and you can still use your regular voicecom software at the same time.
Oh, and yes, I like Star Trek, too! Btw, anybody watching Galactica on SkyOne?
