If I'm remembering correctly, the chat spatialization
stuff isn't in the primary codebase. Some people found
it annoying, and it didn't really help with the lag
problem.
I suspect that irc channels are a good model for vnet
worlds: if you're there, the assumption is that you're
there to talk/listen to everybody.
Maybe the ability for participants to create ad-hoc
mini-worlds, like irc channels? Server maintains a list,
you can jump from topic-world to topic-world? Exact same
geometry, different participants? Stuff like that sounds
interesting, and relatively practical, since IRC has
turned it into fairly well-trodden technical ground. And
it helps keep the number of participants in a single
world down to a manageable level.
