Maurice van der Pot <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Nexus voice communication application
System name: nexus
Type: non-GNU

Description:
The goal of my project is to make an application like BattleCom/Roger 
Wilco/TeamSpeak/GameVoice mainly for talking to your friends while playing 
games.
The combination of properties/features that will make this program unique (as 
far as I have seen):
- free software (GPL'd)
- runs on both GNU/Linux and Windows
- has decent sound quality
- some additional ideas that I have not seen in other programs

It will be programmed in C++ (but not strictly OO) using existing libraries for 
speech encoding/decoding and audio I/O (see software dependencies).

I am currently not planning on making a GUI, but that could change. I will 
certainly make sure there is a well specified API for connecting a GUI to the 
app (either through a socket or through simply linking them together).

I have made a working prototype before that was in C, but the design wasn't 
good enough so it has been bumped down to prototype status.
The C++ code I have so far and some design diagrams can be found here:

Other Software Required:
Speex - www.speex.org - library for encoding/decoding speech
Portaudio - www.portaudio.com - library for audio I/O
