Hi Well that's exactly what mine does. Speaks a few phrases and halts with some odd errors, including a speech device initialization problem. OSS mods are loaded. Odd thing is that it works fine with non-alsa drivers. The errors don't seem to indicate a shared library problem outside of ViaVoice, the return errors seem to come from ViaVoice-specific libraries alone, though I'm not sure how relevant this is. What are the errors you are getting, exactly? I doubt seriously that it's a shared C library problem. If it was, it would have probably failed with a segmentation fault or would have complained about a missing shared object.
