i don't think this would be a good application of server resources

Who said anything about "server" resources? If this was done correctly, the video and audio would be de-centralized. If one of the players had broadband then their machine could be used as a central point but it is not really necessary for any machine to be a central point. The problem is that 4 (even small) videos and voice would overwhelm dial-up connections. Drop the video and use still pictures and it is doable. If you want audio, you can do that already with Yahoo Messenger.
Personally, I think there are enough other improvements necessary before sugar like audio and video.
