Switch from teamspeak to Mumble.

[Ze_PilOt]

Hi,

I'm going to shutdown the teamspeak server and switch to mumble soon.

The reasons are as follows :

- Mumble is open-sourced and free. We have a free license of teamspeak, but it's limited to 32 slots.
- The API is easier to use. And Rienzilla made a connector for FAF. It allow you to be auto-placed in a channel with your team when a game starts. You can test it here : viewtopic.php?p=32407#p32407
- It's easier to administrate. The admin interface of teamspeak is a mess, and it's very difficult to register users correctly. I did not tested mumble server extensively, but I can't see how it can be worst.

The drawbacks :
- Less people have it already installed. But it's not like it's a big hassle to install.
- I find the vocal parameters harder to tweak with some microphone.

post the link to the mumble download somewhere new people can find it easily or add it to the things to be installed with the client (as a recommendation)
not sure if this is allowed though ofc
