Err? I use vent (both 2.1 and 2.3) every day for playing RtCW / ET / Q3 / Q4, never had any problems with that (except that it sometimes makes some sounds pretty quiet, but I got used to it and it's doesn't happen that often)
Push to talk used to be kinda hard to get working properly, but I've played around a little with C and some open source projects, now I can get either push to talk or my favorite push-to-toggle-mic with voice activation.
About ubuntu: it's really good, I use it on laptop and it seems to be exactly what it should be. But I still got debian on desktop
good for your first linux, ET instalation is izi and everything is smooth if it detects your soundcard (not in my case, still can't use linux caus e i have no sound in it.)
actually it detected my card perfectly, i just had no sound.
there's something about my soundcard and channels i think, it's real weird.
lets say i'm listening to music + watching a video + playing ET
one of those mutes itself, when I make the window active something else mutes and that unmutes.
weird.
as tuqs told me, et was ade for linux only :o but then there was a huge respond from windows users so they made a windows version too. or something like that :o
ofc there is but tbh its not so easy. linux is a whole different world compared to windows :)
im also a linux-beginner and i dont rly know how to handle gentoo without fucking up everything ;P
most Creative cards, yes.
But I have a not so cheap card from Terratec (Aureon 7.1). Not any of the Terratec cards support Hardware Mixing. Have a look at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=All
mostly creative cards and some other small vendors produce cards with hardware mixing.
but u cant use ventrilo and ET at the same time, u wont have sound in ET or ventrilo, depends on wich u started 1st
PS: 64 bit

I've got music, teamspeak (Cant get ventrilo working properly) and ET at the same time. No problem anyway!
echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
as root
echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
is needed =)

et + linux = 300 fps any map
et + linux = 300fps & no vent (apparently).
Think I know which I'd go for ;)
getting 100 fps stable @ windows
getting 175 fps stable @ linux
with an ati card :x
thx to everyone but isnt there a "bugfix" or something for the sound stuff ?
And what about office, powerpoint and that kind of stuff ?

No need to have a fucking expansive creative card =)
