Hi, I have both Speakup and Espeakup installed on my Asus 1000ha. I have noticed that it tends to lag sometimes, especially when reviewing text quickly. If text review is done slowly it does not lag as often. I have Speakup and Espeakup installed on my Dell Studio 1536 as well, but I removed pulseaudio and use alsa on it. That computer does not have the same problems, so I am sure it is something pulse related. Is there anything I can do to get Speakup working on the netbook as well as it does on the Dell Studio without having to remove pulseaudio? I have created a /etc/asound.conf and run all alsa sound through pulseaudio. This seems to reduce the lag slightly, but it's not even close to gone. Is there anyway to compile espeakup to use pulseaudio?
