-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 I'mve just noticed something. When I use the speakout synth on a serial port, I'm getting a bunch of those dreaded "cat: write error: Invalid argument" messages all over the place when I try and set up my speech parameters and I notice that I even get that error when setting punctuation characters. Yet, if I specify to use soft with the talkwith script, I get my punctuation characters back and I only get two of the "invalid argument" errors. I verified that the directories /etc/spkout and /etc/soft both contain valid values in the parameters in question. What could be the difference here? I just updated my Debian Squeeze system shortly before running into this. Any ideas? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAkmxWtMACgkQWSjv55S0LfHLegCfQ7wft/SeJtkpx6g+17gf0joc a/wAn2YXXfVCb7IRkskFAwHYA+TmKV8h =R/sG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
