Package: espeak Version: 1.47.07-1 Severity: normal This might explain some of the issues that people have been experiencing with ESpeak lately.
Debian properly enables the AUDIO=runtime compilation option, but gdb shows that even when PulseAudio is running on my system, PortAudio functions (e.g., Pa_Initialize()) are invoked. If ALSA is configured to invoke PulseAudio anyway (the default under Debian with PA installed), Alsa issues warnings about underruns on my system. I've looked at the preprocessor directives in src/wave.cpp of ESpeak and it isn't clear how this is supposed to work; it seems to me that the wrappers may not be applied as the author intended. I'm going to rebuild this with proper debugging information and investigate further. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
