-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jan and Willem, thanks for your suggestions. And Jan, thanks for helping fix the speechd mailing list issue. The aoss solution does not work for me. At least not completely. The test Willem made using the play command was not conclusive, since as I think I reported earlier, the play command continues to work when other oss applications, such as swift, madplay, and flite, all fail. I used aoss followed by examples of swift, madplay, and flite, with and without speech-dispatcher running. Here is what I find: 1. madplay works as well with or without speech-dispatcher, so that seems to solve the issue for that application. 2. swift and flite sound unacceptably distorted when used with aoss, with or without speech-dispatcher running. So while aoss seems to solve the speech-dispatcher issue, it cannot be used due to this serious distortion. 3. Play works with or without aoss, with or without speech-dispatcher, and so is not a helpful application with which to test the problem. Finally, I have found that if I add only one module to speech-dispatcher, the espeak-generic module, all my applications work correctly and none of them require aoss. This behavior is new behavior for recent upgrades of speech-dispatcher on my system, but at the same time I have made so many other upgrades that I cannot say for sure where the problem lies. However, I do now have a solution: avoid adding the flite or festival modules when running speech-dispatcher.
