I had been trying to work with ventrilo and wine to see how I can make it work, and after a few weeks, I have finally got it working.
First of all, having wine installed.
Now we download the executable file from http://www.ventrilo.com
Assuming it was downloaded to the desktop, we run the next code.
and now we follow the next guide's steps.

HOWTO Ventrilo 2.3.x
1. Install Wine 0.9.26 (confirmed)
2. Install Ventrilo Client 2.3.2 Beta 3 or 2.3.0 Stable (both confirmed)
3. Copy the file msgsm32.acm from the system32 directory of an existing Windows installation (XP confirmed), or download it from the net at http://members.driverguide.com/drive...?driverid=7019 Place it in your fake windows drive under the ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system directory
4. Edit your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system.ini file and add the following line under the drivers32 section:
MSACM.msgsm610=msgsm32.acm
5. Start ventrilo.exe from your fake windows drive and create your user profile.
6. Enter the Setup section of the program and disable all DirectInput options available. Turn on any DirectSound settings to be able to hear multiple voices at once. You may have to set your mixer settings as well if they don't automatically fill in. To enable recording from your microphone, set your Line input in your hardware mixer settings to mic. You can test your mic by pressing the Monitor button. If you choose to use a Push-To-Talk key, you must disable "Use DirectInput to detect Push-To-Talk". This will allow your mouse to work inside the setup dialog again.
7. Go! Go! Go!
Known Bugs:
- Ventrilo window must be active to talk using Push-To-Talk
- Text-to-Speech does not function (libraries probably just need to be installed, will research)
- aRts and ESD drivers do not function properly
