Hi their. While playing stream and locall files on disk with mplayer 1.0 CVS, i've noticed that the the audio becomes choppy and a little distorted while Dectalk is reading information with Speakup CVS. It doesn't matter which console I'm in. I think I may have heard this might be related to Mplayer, but I'm not sure. As a solution, I turned off Speakup in the console where Mplayer is running. That works, but you can't effectively read anything else within other consoles without audio becoming distored. Anyone have any solutions or have experienced this? If their are solutions, I'd gladly summarize and post an msg to the list to help any other people who might be having this slightly annoying problem. Thanks and appreciate any help.
