Streaming audio is probably inappropriate for both SOAP and PHP. However, both SOAP and PHP could be used as "surround" to a system where you gave the client a URL or other location data on where they should go to get the audio (e.g. RTP server and port). The other alternative is to send text back in the SOAP resposne, and have the client do text-to-speech to "play" the text. I'm not sure how widely deployed TTS software is on end-user PCs. Most of the time you would find a TTS engine tied into a voice mail system or IVR system where it plays you a recording or reads an e-mail to you over the phone.
