| Returns channel number for given player, provided that player is speaking, otherwise -1. Having mic on is not enough, player has to make sound. There are several limitations to this command:
* 0 - Global
* It does not work on dedicated server, the return is always -1, only client can detect other client talking.
* 1 - Side
* It does not detect when someone talks on direct chat at all anywhere.
* 2 - Command
