Hello, I am using speech-dispatcher 0.6 for software output, with festival using ALSA. When ever I try and use any software that is using OSS for sound, it always complains that the sound card is busy. If I set speech-dispatcher to use OSS it stops anything else from using the sound card. This is so even when no speech is being produced (e.g. when I have silenced speakup). I don't remember this was so in speech-dispatcher 0.5, is there a setting I have not noticed in 0.6, or will my answer be to go back to 0.5? From Michael Whapples
