I can't understand this ... Are you telling me that having 2 or 3 or 4 things talking to a sound card in linux, is that hard? I want to be able to play mp3s, have software speech, listen to a blurb from a website, and hear operating noises all at the same time, on the same sound card. I should not have to do a single extra thing to get something as basic as that to work. Is it really that difficult?

I have not been able to get flite to work with aoss yet, either using aoss or by any other means. The best I got when I tried this was a slowed-down, distorted, garbled mess.
