TeamSpeak is unfortunately an OSS application so it would like to have exclusive access to the sound card.

However, those using Hardy (which uses Pulseaudio) can use the padsp to load teamspeak using OSS emulation, which in my tests worked pretty well...

so you can alter the script that starts teamspeak, or you can run it from a terminal, or you can alter the menu shortcut to it.

I altered the script:
open a terminal and enter:
sudo gedit /usr/bin/teamspeak

find line 6 or so:
/usr/lib/teamspeak-client/teamspeak.real $@

alter it to:
padsp /usr/lib/teamspeak-client/teamspeak.real $@

Hopefully the packager can update the teamspeak-client package so this OSS app works with hardy and/or intrepid out of the box.

PS: I've not tried the intrepid version of this package yet...
PPS: not sure the situation on Gutsy, you might be able to use the ALSA wrapper for OSS...
