Hack it up with existing software. Shunt the output across the network with ssh, perhaps into a shared tmux session. That takes care of text chat too. (Of course libcaca kills the tmux session, so you might have to drop the frame-rate or keep the tmux panes small). If you want to keep it hacky and horrible, have each side also set up pulseaudio and use it's networking capabilities over ssh to make each others computers the sink for your microphones. Or use existing proper VoIP software, if you want to be practical and boring.
