However, on a related note, we should default gnome-speech to espeak rather than festival. This is especially cool for orca users inasmuch as espeak is now built against alsa via portaudio 19--which is there in F-8. As previously discussed among some of us, this should be done via breakout packages for particular speech engines, e.g. gnome-speech-espeak. I believe this is what I see in the development repository, but I'm unclear whether festival is similarly broken out, and deprecated from its default in gnome-speech status. While there are still a few problems with accessible login in gdm, it mostly works with espeak, and that's a very cool feature. Overall, things look pretty state of the art re a11y to me right now. Some last minute bugs with F-7.92 fully updated ... We seem to have lost the beep in gdm as well as gdm's ability to play a custom audio file. From my personal /etc/gdm/custom.conf: # If SoundOnLogin is true, then the greeter will beep when login is ready # for user input. If SoundOnLogin is a file and the greeter finds the # 'play' executable (see daemon/SoundProgram) it will play that file # instead of just beeping #SoundOnLogin=true SoundOnLogin=/boot/gdm.wav This is now broken--as of some weeks ago. Not sure if it's gdm or F-8 implementation breakage. However, far more serious is that the beep no longer works when "SoundOnLogin=true' is set.
