I only occasionally use it. It’s crusty, old and terrible quality. I don’t like it. Mumble has spoiled me.

The Linux client is now stated as being “in development”, but I had been using it for a long time when I was gaming on Linux. I guess recent updates obsoleted that side of things.

• Voice Overlay

  • Alpha, plus it’s an external program so who knows.

• AltaVoice (archive) was a mod that shows who is speaking on Ventrilo/Teamspeak.

  • Not in development any more.
