I've read that the latest version of aMSN is supposed to be able to handle voice in messenger, but have not tried it myself. You will probably have to compile it yourself, I doubt that anyone will have produced a package for 10.1. I don't know of any other Linux program that does voice in messenger.

I'm pretty sure there's no voice support for MSN under Linux. aMSN will only do voice clips, but not mic support. If you want to do voice, the easiest way by far is Skype.

Wengo seems, in theory, to be a good open source alternative, but I've tried it and it just doesn't seem to work at all. I can't get that to do anything in fact!
