hi lukas, well I am going to switch to slackware 10.2 with 2.6.13 kernel and I think they use alsa 1.0.9 drivers. will flite 1.2 have any problems with it? I also want to use yasr with the same machine. well if you know any binary packages available for slackware please let me know. I searched on google but did not find. may be my search went wrong. any ways I have one more question. since this issue is related to flite, may I also ask which is the best voice around which I can use with flite? my point of view of choosing the voice is one which is exceptable and can be clear. I might compromise on inflection but I will certainly expect clearity. can you suggest me one very good and exceptable voice I can use with flite 1.2 and yasr? thanks a lot for your help, Krishnakant. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
