Following up on my own post, there's also a bug on Arch Linux right now which affects espeak. It isn't an espeak bug; it's actually a bug in Portaudio. If you use Speakup, you've hopefully been following the discussion of it over on the Speakup list. Anyway, until the portaudio package is fixed, you need to set the LIBASOUND_THREAD_SAFE environment variable to 0 before running anything that uses espeak. For what it's worth, the bug has been fixed in Portaudio. A patch was merged. I can dig out a direct link to it if anyone wants it, and there's a release candidate available now. So hopefully a new Portaudio release is coming soon. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
