(Suggestion) Add optional proximity voice chat for servers

[Indrit]

Add packet based proximity chat (using AudioClip packages in unity? and send voice packages to server, and have all voice reach calculations being done server side?).

Why? Valheim is a game for multiple players playing together, so from a logical standpoint communication is therefor a part of the game, currently we only have text chat, such as /w (whisper), normal and /s (shout). These work great, but at the same time, its feels like its lacking the ability to actually speak to other players, using my voice. Sure, I can start discord and invite people to a call. Where I would be able to hear people from all around the server, even if I maybe am only interested to talk to people close to me in game.

How would it work? The Proximity Voice Chat would be a range based (that preferably could be customized by the server host, such as how far, or if its global) voice chat. Where the client has an option to toggle (mic/ connection to vc in game) on or off client side.

I totaly like that in Project winter. In valheim it would be perfect for real role play gaming.
Proximity voicechat and a blackboard or mailbox system for traiding would be so cool.

In-game voice chat is definitely the way to go
