Do I have to use alsa sound drivers to use speakup with espeak? I've installed alsa-utils and I've run alsaconf but there seems to be a problem. I get error messages that it can't find device 0. I have this really old laptop with a Sound Blaster 8 built in. I've loaded the correct modues manually 'modprobe snd-sb8' but no matter what I do, I can't seem to get sound at all via the alsa drivers. The oss drivers work fine. But I can't get speech-dispatcher to work with espeak. I saw that in the espeak config file, it calls aplay. And aplay won't work possibly because I'm not using the alsa drivers. Am I on the right track here?
