This is great but would need to run on windows for the typical mumble use-case of gaming.

It would also be great to have this running on ESP32 or similar, so you could make dedicated IP desk intercoms - I envisage a star-trek style intercom, with each button being a channel that you can join by pushing it in (can join multiple simultaneously).

It's so nerd-sad to see Ukrainian Army doing just fine with Discord screen sharing on Windows[1], realistically obsoleting a large bulk of proper intercom solutions. I want to have to have a working RTS KP-32 on my desk!

It's clown world level to see any military using a consumer chat application for sensitive operations, especially one made by a foreign cooperaton. They really don't seem to take opsec seriously even when leaks have already cost lives.

They made very successful use of consumer-level tech to defeat military-grade tech, e.g. various uses of drones to deliver munitions, and GSM networks as beacons over enemy territory. No wonder: given their constraints, they jump on every solution that can work right now, with near-zero effort. While using a foreign-controlled tech is usually frowned upon, the US is not the side from which they particularly need to hide. I would rather see them using Signal though.
