Well, the original espeak does not interface directly with alsa. It uses portaudio. And it works just fine. It's what I use every day. I'm not running pulse over here at all, although I do have the client libraries, because many packages link against them. For the -ng fork, I built the audio backend with pulse disabled, and then I verified that it was in fact not linked against pulse client libraries at all. I also noticed that it can support OSS, so I did a further test with OSS disabled, just in case it was trying to use OSS and having difficulty due to ALSA's OSS emulation. It's definitely using ALSA, and the emacspeak speech server is failing to speak when linked against it. Well, it does speak the initial greeting, but after that, additional speech commands produce the error message: "File descriptor in bad state". -- Chris _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
