What wood be the best way to go about reconfigureing it on debian -----Original Message----- From: Speakup [mailto:speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Janina Sajka Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:43 AM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: espeakup Shouldn't Presume Pulseaudio Thanks, Willem, this is helpful info. However, isn't this a design flaw? Why is there an "always" about this in the first place? At the very least, shouldn't this be a run time configuration option and not a builtin? In the screen reader world we're in the position of wanting alsa for speakup, but pulseaudio for speech-dispatcher and orca these days. As best as I can figure, from having poked around on this issue recently, it should be possible to do this. Am I wrong? Isn't that what the pulseaudio utility pasuspender is all about?
