Voice Chat Services : Mumble?

[Zeli]

I ran across this today on the interwebz:

Voice Chat Services:

For voicechat, the guild has been trying a free application called Mumble, available for free download at mumble.sourceforge.net/Main_Page. We have a full-time server set up to support this at buzzedbrewer.com, port 64738. So far Mumble has exceeded Ventrilo in ease of setup and use, and has some great features. The sound quality is excellent and Mumble does not use many system resources at all. While it’s always a good time, please note that participation in voice chat is not in any way required.

anyone ever hear of it? I know we have people that cannot use Teamspeak and others who cannot use Vent. I'd really like it if everyone who wanted to use voicechat, was able to do so. I know it's frustrating for some peoples.

Being one of those people who has a gremlin living in her house that likes to mysteriously zap things that were working to make them inexplicably stop working overnight (that's my story and I'm sticking to it), I'd be one of the guinea pigs to help trial it, if so desired. I can't get my Vent to work anymore. Tried every solution offered up. I'm sure it is user error. I know enough to be dangerous.

I haven't heard of it. Does it offer an option to mask my voice so that I sound like a goblin? I would use that in a jiffy.

For some reason, push to talk hasn't worked for TS or Vent for me. Something about my setup causes the programs to ding at me continually if I hit it. I'd be willing to help test this one.

Heard of this one in conversations at the office about other open source applications. Nothing one way or the other though - I'll poke around some more.
