There's an MSDN Coding4Fun article that explains how to create a voice changer that operates over Skype, in C# (.NET). The full source code is also hosted as a project on CodePlex. In addition, it should be fairly easy do something else with the audio (as opposed to streaming it via Skype), since the project is based around the NAudio framework, which contains a good level of abstraction. Anyway, it is a reasonably complete (and stable) example - definitely worth checking out in my opinion.

If you want/need to use C++ or some other language for development, then this project should at least give you some ideas about how to go about it. Still, if you can use .NET, then you're in luck I think.
