2.0: Regarding Spec And Voice Comm

I saw this in the latest changelog.

<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->O Spectators can no longer hear players talk in-game<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I would just like to put a few things forward.
Is it possible to make this a server variable, or to make 'auth'ed admins immune to the block?

I ask because when admin'ing servers you sometimes need to hear the voice comms, to monitor for abuse, spamming and sea shanties... especially on publics.

Given that you will still be unable to join a team with more players than the other this would make it difficult to discover this abuse when you join, or to gather evidence of it happening, as you may not be able to join the team with the offender at all, and you can't always trust the players to get evidence for you.

*Won't somebody please think of the admins! ;/*

    If there was no option to change this behavior, I would be forced to disable voicecoms on my servers.

    Ahh yes please. This is very needed. Much of my anticipation towards 2.0 has been for it's anti-cheat, exploit fixes and ability to better admin a server with it and not the changes in gameplay. Disabling the ability for spectators to hear is taking a major step backwards. :/

    cant u just trust people these days not to say certin things?.... oh wait, scratch that thought!
    Anyway... half-life i believe is only setup for team voicecomm only, or "sv_alltalk 1" where everyone hears everyone else
