I'm completely ignorant of udev-acl, but if this is the thing that moves around device access rights when you switch users, then I agree. If we could pass around /dev/soft_synth rights like we do the sound card, we could make this work with user-space code. The critical thing is that /dev/soft_synth rights must always follow the audio card rights. Is it easy to make this work very reliably with CK/udev? If this is only a kernel module change, I will sign up to do that. It would be great if we could leave espeakup and speechd-up mostly untouched. Bill
