You'll need to put an access list in the router that allowsto do a pass through. Rather then run through the proxy. Audio doesn't play by the same rules.. Make sure all your Microsoft products are current on security patches..
We've had to do similar things with libraries.
Messenger relies on a stateful connection, it uses TCP rather then UDP, sending ACK's back to a proxy doesn't get it to it correct destination, but that is what messenger thinks is the destination.
Bypass proxy on these and you should be ok.

Subject: [squid-users] Yahoo / MSN Audio Chat through Squid Proxy
Hi,
Yahoo messenger or MSN messenger gives audio/webcam chat facility which
does not work through Squid Proxy server. Is there any solution through
squid.conf where autio/webcam chat works fine?
