-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 I thought it was up to 1.14 Has he done some more versions already? Also, I just looked at my espeak.generic.conf and I am using aplay to play the temp file. It has been working fine here. Now I do have the OSS emulation include in my alsa stuff if that makes any difference but it is definitely aplay and not play. The only complaint I notice so far is the capital letters which for me is raise of pitch; there is a slight delay but on this machine I don't see as much delay as I do on my laptop. I forget what I have different on this box but I'll take a look later. I haven't upgraded to 1.14 yet. I'm still on 1.11 but plan to upgrade soon. That's why I was asking about the correct version number.
