If the existing client can't be located the installer can prompt for it. Similar is possible for *nix and I'd imagine for OSX. I 'spose I will have to read up on the client and server to see if it's feasible, but if the mumble client can just connect to the murmur server and get tossed to the proper channel based on the players team without having user intervention that would be nice. I would think something like this should be possible. > Yeah, probably, if you don't mind.

As discussed in the game I'll have it up for ya this weekend. Will just need a DSA public key from you.
