Mumble: Request: Simple Text-to-Speech

[Elusivehawk]

It would be nice if we could get a checkbox that enables a simple, shortened message that's less annoying for people to listen to. So if someone sends a text message, instead of saying "Channel, username, message", text-to-speech just outputs the message itself.

The reason behind this is simple, but a bit of a niche case: A friend's mic died, but they still want to be a part of our conversations. When they send a text message, the extra fluff disrupts the conversation for longer than it should, and is annoyingly repetitive. The alternative is turning off text-to-speech altogether, but then they get ignored unless we're actively monitoring the text chat.

I've sort of hacked this together a long time ago at:
https://github.com/sregister/mumble/commit/7d4a4b3fba1acb994111022aea61c9aa3b7eec78

If I have time I can try to fix that patch up a little and submit an official PR, I added the gui elements using Qts GUI helper thing (which I've since uninstalled) and it did crazy stuff to the XML files which may or may not really matter.

Don't worry about it, we can clean the changes up before merging the pull request.
