Manually download & extract the "Linux i386 - 32bit" server from here (they don't provide a wget-friendly link).
Edit "ventrilo_srv.ini", key settings are:
Name=Zomtalki 9000 # Server name Phonetic=Zomtalki 9000 # Server name (for TTS) Auth=1 # Require a user password? AdminPassword=XXXXXX # Password for admin Password=YYYYYY # Password for general access ... VoiceCodec=3 # Set the codec to Speex to allow Mac clients to join (default codec (GSM) doesn't work for Mac) VoiceFormat=6 # This is basically the bitrate (see below) ...
To launch:
./ventrilo_srv
Here's the full list of choices for codec/format (from here):
