Hei Thierry -- Udo Noll, the developer/initiator of aporee::maps has been doing 
exactly this with his collab audio mapping project for some years now --

http://aporee.org/maps/

If you go to this page and go to the 'play' menu at the lower left, and go to 
'sound walks' he was using that interface for viewers to follow his movements on 
the ground, while the aporee::maps engine was receiving feeds from his gps 
phone, and then selecting and playing a mix of the three nearest stored sounds 
from the area and playing them for people tuning in online...  So, the database 
of maps sounds were being played back by a person walking on the ground.  It 
depended on a relatively dense sampling of sounds in an area, as a walker 
doesn't move that quickly...  Udo is a miracle-worker, artist, and programmer :-))
