TeamSpeak 3

[Bastinka]

Well, I don't use TeamSpeak that often but I use Ventrilo much less due to it's ugly GUI. Though the wait for this is finally over, it's still in beta form but now apparently has an SDK(?).

EDIT:
Upon looking at it, the GUI and Voice quality of TeamSpeak 3 compared to TeamSpeak 2 has improved a lot and to me it sounds better then Ventrilo. You can also set your own Avatar in TeamSpeak 3, but I haven't been able to do so in Freelancers server. The max size listed for an Avatar in the documentation is 300x300 (pixels). Added you can also 'Poke' other clients with a certain reason which gets displayed to you along with a sound notification of being poked.

Screenshots!

Wow, I remember using TS2 back in the EPG Servers and H2CE days...it really took this long for 3 to come out? They must have did some heavy core changes or something

Sound quality is better than Vent and even Skype from what I can tell, and the 3D sound environment stuff is neat. The permissions system is overly robust though, could do with some stream lining. They need a web control panel as well, I'm not a fan of this command line ServerQuery setup they've got going on.

I'll have to check this out, vent has been dominating teamspeak for the past 3 years.

No? Thats a very biased statement you made there. They always seemed quite equal, have yet to find a precise display of facts that lists which one is better online.
