It would be great to be able to do more player created content like that, but unfortunately it doesn't work so well for audio! Voice acting is actually very difficult to do. Additionally, all recording has to be done in a studio environment so that the recording quality is high enough to use in game. We did something similar to your suggestion early on, and it didn't work out.
I took audio off the auctioneer awhile ago, it'll be in game for you guys pretty soon. If the voices drive you crazy, you can turn them off by going to your audio preferences and turning down the vocalization fader. We hope to do more voice work in the future!
