Ventrilo 2.1.4 under wine - push to talk.

[vintearis]

Ventrilo in version 2.1.4 work properly good under wine. I talk with friend without any problems with sound, but there is one with "Push-to-talk" function (hotkey). When frame with ventrilo have lost focus i can't use this function. I spent a lot of time to googled about it and I found program called xbindkeys. I got idea, that I can use this program to send keystroke to ventrilo. Somethink like " when i click CTRL somewhere on linux xbindkeys send this keystroke to ventrilo window". I think about it, because when ventrilo window lost focus I can't use push to talk.
How I can use this function when ventrilo windows lost focus?

ps. I also found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321762, but how I can use this?

Check the appdb in case there is a work around for Ventrilo, but last
time I used Vent and currently with the windows version of Teamspeak
through Wine that is just how it is - that window must have focus for
push to talk to work (wine 1.3.17, with and without pulseaudio).

Correct - it uses dinput which doesn't support this functionality.

A hint from my side:

I dont know the reason why you have to use Ventrilo but if theres no reason at all, you could try Mangler - A Ventrilo Compatible Client for Linux -> http://www.mangler.org/

For me it works perfect without any trouble
