Hey, there is an error in your message below. The default-sample-method is being flagged as an invalid option in pulseaudio when I attempt to start pulseaudio. Actually, this option never existed in the daemon.conf file to begin with. I thought I would add it to the file but no joy. The only sample-method anything in the file was a resample-method so I thought I would try that one and just add the suggested value from your message here and I didn't get any errors but the sound from speech dispatcher is still horribly distorted. Frankly, it is unusable in this condition. I did change the default-fragments to 5 and uncommented but at this point, I can't get speech-dispatcher to sound any better than this; it's really terrible. Now when I use mplayer from a console to play music, that seems to sound OK. So I don't know what speechd's problem is. I got the distortion when I tried both the espeak and the swift-generic modules. If I run swift outside of speech-dispatcher, it sounds great. So it makes me wonder if speech dispatcher is fucking up some place.
