-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, My problem with speech-dispatcher persists. I replaced the Debian speech-dispatcher package with the CVS download, and it still seems to block OSS applications when it is running, allowing those applications to work okay when it is not running. In the following short example, swift is the application that wants to use oss. The example starts with speech-dispatcher running, and swift fails. Killing speech-dispatcher and running swift again allows it to work. Running speech-dispatcher once more and repeating the swift run fails again. cq:speechd# swift hello world oss_audio: failed to open audio device /dev/dsp cq:speechd# cq:speechd# kill -9 `pidof speech-dispatcher` cq:speechd# cq:speechd# swift hello world cq:speechd# cq:speechd# speech-dispatcher cq:speechd# swift hello world oss_audio: failed to open audio device /dev/dsp cq:speechd# As reported earlier, speech-dispatcher is configured with flite as the only module loaded, and the flite config file confirms that it is using alsa. My alsa version is 1.0.14rc3, my kernel is 2.6.21 with speakup, my distro is Debian Sid. Other apps that fail in a similar way are madplay and flite, although all alsa applications work fine with or without speech-dispatcher running. This behavior began when moving up from the Debian 0.6.2 package, and it happens for root as well as normal users.. My mail is not being accepted at the speech-dispatcher mailing list, but hopefully someone here may have some suggestion about where I can look for more info about this issue. Hynek made some suggestions which I ruled out, so I remain in the dark for the moment.
