Wine will install and run the ventrilo VOIP client very well. To get this working, follow these steps:<\/p>\n
apt-get install wine wine-dev msttcorefonts <\/p>\n
download ventrilo-3.0.5-Windows-i386.exe<\/p>\n
run “wincfg” to prepare things<\/p>\n
run “wine ventrilo-3.0.5-Windows-i386.exe”
\n (go through the install, using all the defaults)<\/p>\n
Now, everything works with one quirk.
\nPush to talk works only when the ventrilo window “has focus”
\nThis is somewhat understandable, but annoying, in that you have
\nto focus the ventrilo window before you can talk.
\nThe other option is to use voice-detection, but that takes up a bit more cpu-time, and you may accidentally broadcast something you don’t want to.<\/p>\n
A program that listens for keypreses and directs them to the ventrilo window fixes this problem:<\/p>\n

To compile it, you’ll need xorg headers:
\nsudo apt-get install xorg-dev<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
