You may be able to run it as-is under wineX, but you won't be able to 'port' it to run in a Linux native environment.

You can use OpenGL or SDL. Your "simple" DirectX app might well run under Wine as Choozo says. More complicated ones probably won't.

Does OpenAL have this functionality?

It might be of help, if not take a look at what SDL may offer (does it have sound support? it is "Simple DirectMEDIA Layer").

There will be a library of sound functions that will allow you to implement your voice-comm system. You will have to re-write a fair portion of your program to use it, however.
