Dear users and
Pulseaudio sound server developers,
I have worked with
Linux from The time, when Ubuntu 7.04 has been released. In this times, Gnome
have contained Pulseaudio sound server. I have started to be sad, that this
excellent sound server, which has so many qualities, had issues with Espeak
speech synthesizer. In The times, when Gnome-speech services have existed, the
reactivity between key press and Espeak speech have been The fastest. But when
The time had gone by so fast, programmers have stopped to use Gnome speech
services and this system have been replaced by The Speech-dispatcher speech
server in Ubuntu and Debian and other distros.
Even from The time, when
Ubuntu 7.04 has been released, one big problem had persisted.
If system run
for more and more time, even if user do not use his sound device at all, Speech
start to be cutter and electric sounds are incorporated to Espeak output. Even
if I switch Speech-dispatcher server from Pulseaudio to Libao, some speech
problems persists.
My plea is as follows.
Does somebody of Pulseaudio core
developers would have A some suggestions, which can be applied by every Linux
user where Pulseaudio run, so this issues could gone for ever?
I have
compared it with latest Knoppix iso image from Mr Professor Klaus Knopper from
Germany. He has prepared his distribution based on Alsa and pulseaudio sound
server does not run as a process in ram. What could I do to improve Pulseaudio
so it would enable Espeak speech engines users to have so high quality speech
output as ALSA without Pulseaudio can provide?
I AM aware many thousands
programmers work which all engaged volunteers to Pulseaudio project have
invested. I also know that visually impaired users are very small minority among
Pulseaudio users. I really want to constructively help to improve Pulseaudio, so
speech quality will be better and better while using it with Espeak speech
engine.
The most important informatics questions are.
What would be the
most simple to improve?
The source code of Espeak engine and its
dependencies? Or Speech-dispatcher itself
or if something could be done to
make Pulseaudio more compatible with Espeak and Speech-dispatcher speech
server.
