I noticed that you kept renewing your question.  Rest assure that if
someone knows the answer, it will be answered.  Instead of paying $.50
for every time you renew the question, you can increase the price of
the question to make it more appealing to researchers.

Ok.

I'm pretty sure that to achieve a perfect solution you will need to
get someone to program and implement this one for you. I doubt there
is an existing system freely available. However I've got an imperfect
solution for you.

It sounds like you want to host an internet talk show. So I would be
inclined to set up a Shoutcast Server so that people can hit a link on
your website that opens up their MP3 player.

Shoutcast is really easy to set up if you know what you are doing but
can be tricky if you're inexperienced, give it a try they have great
tutorials on the website http://www.shoutcast.com

As for the microphone communication I would download Roger Wilco from
http://www.resounding.com and set up the Shoutcast server so it picks
up all sound on your computer, therefore listeners to the shoutcast
stream will be able to hear the microphone conversation. The
microphone comms uses very little bandwidth and as its vocal you can
set the sound quality very low so have hundreds of people listening to
your stream with bandwidth to spare.

Sorry if none of this makes sense.
If you need help setting any of it up post your MSN contact or email
address and i'll contact you.

Hope it helps.

I have not used this feature but AOL Instant Messenger and Yahoo
Messenger (maybe MSN Messenger too) allow you to chat with users using
a Microphone.

People could even chat with you the old-fashioned way by using the
keyboard.  It is faster than email.

So sign up for AOL IM, Yahoo Messenger, and MSN Messenger.  They are
all free.

The suggestion about using Shoutcast with a voice chat program is
feasible, but will only work with two sound cards, generally speaking.
 This is because a standard sonud card has only one recording device
available.  Both Shoutcast and Voice chat need to record
microphone/wav input and will fight over this capability.  You can
install a second low-cost sound card and run a wire from the speaker
out on one card to line in on the other card to get around this.  As
for setting up a Shoutcast server, you are limited by the amount of
upload bandwidth taht you are allowed to use from your provider.  For
example, if you are given 128K of upload bandwidth, you'll only be
able to have 4 or 5 listeners with a modem-quality SHoutcast stream or
2 listeners with a 56K broadband stream.  Hope this helps.
