The Linux binary has been updated with one that'll work on CS:S as well as 2009, thanks to weeb1e for the extensive testing involved.

Does this still work with windows? I tried to do this last night and everything seemed to be loaded but when I tried to talk with your test plugin running no message appeared.

When sv_use_steam_voice is set to 1, will it send compressed data or not send any data?

It will send a different format of compressed data. One which isn't Speex.

Raw listeners will get the compressed data, regular listeners will get nothing.

To decompress the audio data you need to use the DecompressVoice of the ISteamUser SteamWorks interface, which is not exposed to the game server.

Spoiler

voiceCodec.ResetState();

Pointer<Byte> pCompressed = Pointer.pointerToBytes(data);

byte[] decompressed = new byte[22528];
Pointer<Byte> pUncompressed = Pointer.pointerToBytes(decompressed);

int samplesDecompressed = 0;

if (useSteamVoice) {
	Pointer<Integer> bytesWritten = Pointer.allocateInt();
	int retVal = steamUser.DecompressVoice(pCompressed, data.length, pUncompressed, decompressed.length, bytesWritten, 11025);
	if (retVal == 0) {
		samplesDecompressed = bytesWritten.getInt() / Vaudio_speexLibrary.BYTES_PER_SAMPLE;
	}
} else {
	samplesDecompressed = voiceCodec.Decompress(pCompressed, data.length, pUncompressed, decompressed.length);
}

if (samplesDecompressed == 0) {
	System.out.printf("Failed to decompress audio...\n");
	continue;
}

System.out.printf("Decompressed %d samples...\n", samplesDecompressed);

Been encountering some weird issues with this recently. The main use we've found for it is controlling the use of HLDJ (so people can't micspam over each other, etc).

Since roughly around the Manniversary changes, the Metamod plugin has been altering voice. (Reducing the overall quality and making it sound as if it's being broadcast from a wind tunnel, and at times dropping half of the sound altogether).

I'm pretty certain it's the Metamod plugin, as it only takes this being loaded alone (not the extension or SourceMod plugin we're using) for the effects to be present.

As some evidence, we've performed the highly scientific "Neil test".

A few seconds in to the loaded one and it becomes really noticeable.

Hope this helps, and cheers for the awesome plugin.

Two quick questions... will this work with Source 2007 mods at all? Also, could this somehow be used to transmit voice communication between two game servers using the socket extension? I am thinking of using this to allow players to speak across my TF2 and Adrenaline Gamer 2 servers.

Post has been updated with new voicehook_mm binaries that wont re-encode the audio stream if there are only raw (or no) listeners registered.

Any update on stream audio files through the voice channel?

Did you also update the Linux version?

meta info says "Details: API 015, Date: Oct 14 2011".

And I get the following console spam when only using the provided SourceMod extension (with sv_use_steam_voice set to 1), so I guess it tries to decode the SILK stream with Speex...
