Spatial audio for group chats

With the current pandemic and more people than ever locked in their homes, I'm meeting much more of my real friends online to play games, nearly 100% through Discord. All of a sudden there are many more people in voice chats. I find it very difficult to understand anything when there's over 5 people in a voice chat.

3D spatial audio would be an amazing feature for voice chats. Hearing everyone else in a chat from different directions would make things a thousand times easier to use with bigger groups (the cocktail party effect). From what I understand it's a relatively low-resource feature to have. Since the processing would all be client-side I would see it making sense as a Nitro feature.
