Where you quoted Red Knight above, he had thrown out a rough, brainstormed list of situations where chatter would occur, with examples, and people have basically grown that list. In the SND thread, we've been discussing the actual list of game events that would trigger a sample being played, and what I posted is where we are (however, my names for the categories are pretty poor...)

 

By all means, though, keep the ideas flowing, and we'll sort it all out when the proper time comes.
