TeamSpeak has cemented Mumbles paradigm in the minds of many, many mainstream people years before Discord existed. Mumble works pretty much the same in terms of convenience and simplicity. It's not that niche. Try it before you knock it.

This is the kind of stupid elitism people have here. As if I haven't hosted Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, and Mumble servers for years. Maybe these days there isn't competition (although you mentioned TeamSpeak), but even back in the day it was a tiny miracle if two different groups actually shared a platform even inside the same game different groups/clans/guilds usually had different setups and I had to juggle multiple clients just to participate compared to now when everyone is simply on Discord.

Unless you need some niche feature (like the OP's positional audio) there simply is no reason to go for out dated client/server model.
