No, not a recepie. Ventrilo is a VoIP application of sorts that allows folk to set up private servers for friends to connect to. Mostly used for gaming but the R4nger5 use it for recording the show. I have successfully got it running through the Wine compatibility doodad.
First, run the wine config program which you can access through your menu or by running winecfg at the command line. Select the audio tab and then tick the box that says OSS. Exit that.
Once Wine is installed, it should mostly work. Have Push To Talk checked and choose what key you want. Also have both directsound boxes checked.
