No, though I can imagine its being uttered if the listener is keenly aware of several voices being raised.

It's not correct. Even if you know that more than one person is talking, say 'Who is talking?'

But you can say things like 'Who are the people talking (....)?'

No. I can only imagine it stressed in an echo question, thus:

-- Those crazy people in my head are talking again.

-- Who are talking?
