I'm curious, why are you running these apps in Wine? Teamspeak and Skype 
already have native Linux versions, Ventrilo server for Linux has been 
available for ages and a client is under development. I don't see any 
benefit to running them in Wine on production.

However, if you are using them to test Wine's audio support, then that 
is a different matter (and probably an excellent test as well)
