One avenue which has not been brought up here yet is that if someone really wants a specific app designed and written professionally but does not have the expertise to do so themselves, they can hire a development house to do it for them.
Many companies do this now for iOS apps. So it's not out of the question for an audio game. It does cost what some may consider a fair bit of cash to do, but it is doable. If someone wants something enough, and has the financial means to do it, then it's easy. Just some thoughts… Cheers!

Sryth as it stands now is a browser based text game, and it has taken the better part of a decade to get where it is now. An audio game would even take longer because it requires a whole lot more programming if we add in text to speech, sounds, and music. Even were I to start on such a project this very evening I doubt I would be able to cover a quarter of the content in Sryth by this time next year which leads to the next problem/issue. Given the fact that an audio game on par with Sryth would be an extremely time consuming project what incentive would there be for me to put that much time and effort into it? I probably wouldn't make enough money off of it to justify working on it 8 hours a day for a year or more, and I'd likely be giving up opportunities to read books, watch movies, play other games while developing said game so am not certain I'd really want the hassle. So unless there is a motive or incentive to do it I doubt you'll find a game developer willing to do it unless they are getting something out of the bargain. While I see where you are going with this I have a feeling if you really and truly want an RPG game that bad you might have to bite the bullet and write one your self. Not everyone is as passionate or as interested in creating one as you apparently are, and you can't expect developers to just drop everything and write one. It isn't that we aren't sympathetic, but not everyone has the time, the money, or the desire to write a highly complex RPG of the type you are asking for. Cheers!
