Hi Tobias:
It should work, but there might be some integration issues with Fedora
and GNOME. The biggest wrinkle we've come across lately on all distros
is the interaction between PulseAudio and speech engines. The two
don't play well together at all. :-( Luckily, I believe the PulseAudio
creator works at RedHat now, so maybe he can help resolve some of these
issues.

Hi,
Is anyone successfully running Orca under Fedora 12? After several
failed attempts to get Orca working in both Fedora 11 and Fedora 12,
I'm seriously considering parting company with Fedora in favor of
something more accessible. It seems people are having more success
with Ubuntu.
I don't know really what the problem is. I've installed Fedora in text
mode, and afterwards added the Gnome Desktop Environment group, the X
Windows System group, the Sound and Video group and various and some
others, that I seemed related. Orca, espeak, festival,
speech-dispatcher, gnome-speech, brltty (since I want to use braille)
are installed, along with their support packages. All alsa and
pulseaudio-related packages are also in, as far as I can tell.
My soundcard works in text mode if I put a has in front of the line
that loads the pulseaudio plugin. There is no sound in GNOME, neither
with nor without the hash sign present on that particular line in
asound.conf.
I got it all working -Orca, speech and braille - one single time in
Fedora 11, but after rebooting, it all stopped working again, form
some reason I couldn't work out. In Fedora 11 I had sound, though. Now
I have a fresh installation of Fedora 12.
Is Orca supposed to work i Fedora 12? If not right out of the box, so
at least with some tweaking that I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance for any hints or advise.
King regards,
Tobias
