It helps when screen reading or speech synthesis is real time or as near
to real time as possible. Thanks for putting this information out since
I could use one set of speakers for speech and another set I have
connected for other audio when I can figure out how to get it correctly
configured until you replied, I didn't even know this was possible.

No, I was thinking about 2 very selfish coders with very contemptuous,
bad manners, one is a "special" friend of Linus Torvalds, IOW Mr.
Torvalds is very upset, the other coder mainly responsible for
pulseaudio, didn't behave better, when pulseaudio failed. Both follow a
"fix your software, when my software is buggy, to make my software
work" attitude. They might have contributed good things to Linux,
but live often is easier without some of their programming. However,
this is the wrong place to wake up this discussion again. I only chime
in, because I guess it's important to recommend against pulseaudio,
when a user mentions to use Rosegarden or similar real-time audio
related software.
