Basically what I am thinking is simple yet seems impossible ...as it is we have proximity sound that we can attach to objects and it should be noted that characters(infantry/tanks) are also objects ...but what if the sound came from something other then a file say a live mic.

It's been done (well, similar to what you're describing) already by BlackIntel using mumble.

Very cool stuff, that largely went un-noticed.
Teamspeak3's 3D audio is pretty shitty, and not really up to what you're describing. Although using vent instead of Mumble might be possible. Dolby's axon is designed for just such a use, just the other day they released some super cool shit in the form of an api for their client:
https://axon.dolby.com/
However, what small percentage of players that use TS/Vent are hardly going to use axon for just positional sound.
