Hello Jude, Did this issue occur since RC3 or since the final release?
I ask because I see this in the ChangeLog, cf. http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/ChangeLog.txt cut here Monday 27 November 2017 Note: this batch of updates is the last applied in slint64-14.2.1RC3. espeak-1.48.04-x86_64-4slint.txz: Rebuilt. Use portaudio as backend to allow using orca in parallel without having to start pulseaudio system wide. portaudio-v19-x86_64-2slint: Re-added and rebuilt. Dependency of espeak. cut here other than that the espeak version didn't change. If that was also the case in RC3, I could rebuild an espeak package with pulseaudio as backend that you could test. I would also be curious to know if this issue occurs for other users. Greetings, Didier Le 03/01/2018 à 17:56, Linux for blind general discussion a écrit : > This is Jude here.
