If you’re looking for a nice open source web chat for your site, I suggest you take a look at AJAX Chat by Blueimp. This free and fully customizable chat client can easily be integrated in a number of common forum systems such as phpBB, MyBB, PunBB, SMF, vBulletin and other PHP community software.

Other than being open source, another thing that some users love most about it is the fact that it doesn’t depend on external protocols like XMPP, IRC, etc. It’s quite easy to setup although you’re going to need to know a bit of PHP and JavaScript if you want to do some customization, but all in all, it isn’t really that difficult to configure.

Support for sound is implemented using Flash (which is optional), Socket support using Flash on client-side and Ruby on server-side.
