The PS3 release of Portal 2 feature cross platform voice support. And it worked very well precisely because people didn't use Vent/Teamspeak/etc for voice as it was provided in game. Vent/Teamspeak/etc are the only VoIP solutions that require an external server. There is no purpose for a dedicated VoIP server! Also these programs are awful to setup.

I think a better solution is text-to-speach.
