Ubuntu and Ventrilo. A match made in hell.

After tinkering and toying with this Ventrilo program for over a week (and complaining why people dont just use TeamSpeak for pity sake ! It has a native Linux client, come on.) I finally managed to get the thing working on Ubuntu 8.04 with standard ALSA etc.
First thing you need to do, is make sure everything works with the sound system. That means, speakers are configured right, but also confirming that the (built-in if you use a laptop) microphone works as well.
To get this done, you might have to take a look at this page, but obviously i will not cover getting your sound cards to work on every system possible. This entry is about getting Ventrilo to work, and hopefully a comprehensive guide at that. This also means that this guide assumes that you have Wine installed and properly working ! If you haven’t done that yet, get it done first.
