OK,

Not sure where to post this, or for that matter if it affects anyone else apart from me :)

Is there any chance that the Vent server could switch to the Speex codec instead of the Microsoft codec so that us wonderful Mac using members can join in on Vent now and again?

I run TF2 (and sometimes DoD:S) on my Mac through Codeweavers, but can't get the Microsoft codec working in the same Bottle as TF2. I would like to use the native Mac Vent, but it doesn't support the Microsoft codec.

Let the "Get a real machine" bashing begin.....

Let me see what we can do. Also we don't do that around here. You play on what you can, we are glad you are here.

How does the graphics look on that thing anyway?
 
Ventrilo does not and will not work with the GSM 6.10 Codec. There have been planned updates to include this feature, but Flagship has not given any response as to an ETA on this.

As far as we can tell, it's up Apple to fix the issue...

Until then only servers using the Speex codec can be used by Mac OS X users.

There will be a large drop in voice quality when switching over from the current GSM 6.10 44KHz to the Mac usable Speex 32Khz "10 Qlty" codec

I think the graphics are decent. I have a newish iMac with the NVidia 8800 GS card. I know the graphics aren't as great as what you can get with a top of the line PC, but I wanted to try a Mac.

Here is a shot of the desk I posted in the off-topic forum. You can kind of see the graphics a bit...

Yeah, I'd like to be able to use Vent on my Mac, but the Speex codec is a major holdup. It's been an issue since the first release for Mac
