Unless you use some outside service, some form of sockets communication 
should work.  If there are several games listening to the sound, then 
multicast would be great, but that is not supported in Revolution.

Right now record and play are to files.  That would create a delay and 
might not work well.  It would be nice if sound input and output (as 
well as MIDI) could be open as a stream, in a manner much as sockets 
are used.

I heard somebody mention connecting a player object to a QT stream.  I 
don't know if that works well and even if it does, you still have the 
problem of setting up a server.

Maybe there are external apps that can do this that can be controlled 
from within a Revolution application.

And then there are externals...
