Okay, quick note to let you all know that Ventrilo works 90% under WINE, I use Vent. often to chat with friends overseas, the other option for VoIP chat's is Skype which offers an actual Linux client, but it's well known the Skype is focused more on speed that quality, so odds are your going to have a hard time having a decent in-depth conversation without having to say "Sorry, what was that?" at least ten times. Also, I believe the guys behind TeamSpeak are working on a Linux client, as a Linux Server already exists, so we can hosts, but not partake! heh.
Please remember guys, Ventrilo usually works best with WINE running "emulated" hardware acceleration, check out "sudo winecfg" to configure WINE easily. Also, sometimes applications will require a lot of configuration before WINE will run them decently, e.g. FL Studio. And not all application will run under WINE, or they will but not in a usable manner, e.g. the Z3ta+ Synth from CakeWalk wont give me any sound-output, rendering it useless. But sometimes WINE will surprise you, World of Warcraft works under WINE (:
