Just done a new install of wheezy and have a few questions. First, what is the situation with pulse regarding using speakup and orca? Is it better to remove pulse completely? Am trying to avoid a complete loss of speech for obvious reasons. Currently, if I try and log in to the gui I loose speech in the console and I am not sure that I get logged in to the desktop. At that point, I am able to log in as root without speech and shut it down. Also, I am getting a lot of error messages when speech starts during the boot process, mainly about audio and files not found. Finally, can I change speakup to a faster speech rate and make that the default? I have tryed adding parameters to /etc/inid.d/rc.local but still get the boot and error messages at the very slow rate, would like the change as early as possible. Thanks for any help. Keith
