For a test of espeak-ng with alsa built into it cleanly, a system would
have to be completely innocent of pulseaudio. If that was the case then
test quality was high.

From what I understand, it's just being developed.

Never heard of fenrir. Do you know where the info about it is? Thanks!

pulseaudio is responsible for blocking signals that rightfully alsa
ought to get. This is why fenrir will be the official console speech
app for sonar. It wasn't possible to get brltty working correctly either.

sudo downgrade espeak
That's right, the newer versions of espeak won't allow console speech
to work.
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.
