Neural audio codecs: how to get audio into LLMs

accent matching (if you sound Indian, it shouldn't also sound Indian)

Why not? I've found that it helps greatly with mutual intelligibility when both sides are speaking a similar dialect, and the one who can do this switching, switches to that of the one who can't.

(I wish I could also use an Indian accent bidirectionally; would definitely come in handy for those aggravating times I've had to talk to an outsourced customer service department.)

This isn't a logic thing, it's a politeness law invented by white liberal western women thing.

Exactly this. It fits that worldview to think a literal computer was “being racist” and mocking the user, even just by copying their speech patterns accurately.
