I have installed ubuntu 10.10 on a box, and have the speakup modules installed. When I installed espeak it pulled in libportaudio2 which pulled in jack libraries. Now when I try to run espeak it tells me connection refused as portaudio can't contact jack. Short of recompiling portaudio libraries is there a way to tell espeak/portaudio to use alsa rather than Jack? I've looked on portaudio.com but haven't seen a way to configure the portaudio library to do this. Regards, Kerry.
