To make Ventrilo work on Ubuntu Wine is easy.

1. Fire up your Ubuntu Terminal and install the following packages:

   sudo apt-get install wine libwine libwine-alsa cabextract

2. download Ventrilo if you haven’t already done so, at the time of writing, it’s URL is at:
   http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php
3. Extract Ventrilo

   mkdir ~/ventrilo
   cd ~/ventrilo
   cabextract /path/to/ventrilo-2.2.0-Windows-i386.exe

4. Edit the system.ini file:

   ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system.ini

   Add the line below:

   MSACM.msgsm610=msgsm32.acm

5. Next you need to get the windows file ‘msgsm32.acm’ from an existing windows partition (C:/WINDOWS/system32/msgsm32.acm) and copy it to ‘~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/’.
6. Run Ventrilo:

   cd ~/ventrilo
   wine ./Ventrilo.exe
