Hi, In an attempt to get a Linux system with Speakup without having to patch kernels and such, I downloaded and decided to virtualize Fedora 8 via Qemu. I have no hardware synthesizer, nor do I have the ports to install said hardware synthesizer anywhere on this computer, so I installed via Telnet. Now I run into some problems with PulseAudio. From what I understand, this should ideally be a pretty simple program which should just work. I don't understand, though, why we couldn't have just stuck with Linux Alsa as it is now. I have been wrestling with PA for some time, trying to get it working and not sure how to. Removing the packages as suggested by the Speakupmodified.org site isn't really helping:I want sound in the graphical desktop too. Has anybody managed to read through the wealth of traffic on the Fedora mailing lists and elsewhere and found a solution? Thanks much, Zack. _________________________________________________________________ Need to know the score, the latest news, or you need your Hotmail?-get your "fix". http://www.msnmobilefix.com/Default.aspx
