I run my TS2 server on a Linux box which also houses a Roxen WebServer and Content Management Engine (http://www.roxen.com/).
Roxen is a free webserver that pre-dates apache, has a built in web-based configuration interface, an XML-like language called RXML for scripting as well as all the usual goodies like CGI, Perl, Java, PHP, etc support; but RXML is by far and away the best means of scripting your webpages.
One of the big features of Roxen is that it has always had very good, integrated support for databases - something Apache never really picked up on until PHP and such came along.
The upshot of all this is that I've already had a user registration database for nearly 9 years - so it is fairly inconvenient for us having to register seperate accounts for the-latest-tool, e.g. TeamSpeak2.
I'd like a way to be able to integrate TeamSpeak 2 with my existing user database; so that people registered with my webservers can use those accoutns to access TeamSpeak2 - same username, password, etc.
If support were provided for MySQL, Postgres, ODBC and perhaps a flat-text module, then people will be able to integrate not only with Roxen authentication but also with PHP, Zope, IIS and other authentication databases enabling sites to integrate TeamSpeak2 with their existing systems and making it far more desirable.
I can also see a possible future for being able to associate TeamSpeak2 channels with parts of sites -- web-talks are very popular, but imagine being able to hook up those web-talks with a moderated, IP voice system...
You'll need to be flexible in your database api so as not to require specific field names, etc.
You can use SQLs 'AS' adjective to allow people to map field names to their required values, e.g.
SELECT uname AS username, uid AS userid, pw AS password
etc
