I can't get alsa to work on my ancient laptop. That would be fine except that I've upgraded to debian lenny and now software speech doesn't work. It appears that the flite module now depends on alsa. So does the espeak module. Is there an oss module available? -- John Heim jheim at math.wisc.edu / 608-263-4189 "An operator of a vehicle shall stop the vehicle before approaching closer than 10 feet to a pedestrian who is using a service animal" -- Wisconsin Statute 2005 Act 354,
