Hi Mark, I saw this message and remembered that Manjaro and Sonar are using espeak-ng, which is a fork of espeak. One of the things that changed with espeak-ng is the way audio is handled. Actually, espeak-ng uses its very own audio library. So I decided to take it for a spin tonight. I built a custom copy of the emacspeak speech server and linked against espeak-ng, using alsa for the audio. It doesn't work. I get messages like "file descriptor in bad state" when I try to make it speak. I haven't tried it with espeakup yet, but it doesn't look promising. This really needs to be fixed. I'll be delving more deeply into the issue over the next week or so. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
