Janina,
The packager info you get from pacman is just the name and address of
the person who last built the package.  They may or may not be the
maintainer.  When I was a TU, I built plenty of packages that had a
maintainer other than me.  You cannot even rely on the
# Maintainer:
comment in the PKGBUILD files from the Arch Build System.  Running
grep 'Brannon' /var/abs/community/*
will turn up several packages that still have me listed as the
maintainer, even though I haven't been a TU for several years.
So to make a long story short, trying to figure out who maintains a
package on Arch is nigh impossible, and the recommended way of reporting
issues is the bugtracker.

Depending on whether or not the package is installed on your Arch, one
of the following two commands:

sudo pacman -Si portaudio

sudo pacman -Qi portaudio


This, and additional info about asking such questions on Arch is
documented. Find your pacman documentation at:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman

NOTE: Arch is one of the best documented Linux distributions ever, imo.
I've found it useful to bookmark links like the above, and I commend
that practice to you.

I think it defaults to UK english.  Most things have to be changed to US 
english.

The default is a UK English voice. I was able to change this in the 
past, but when I tried to change it recently the same steps didn't 
work. It's not that big a deal for me, so I haven't put the time into 
it to figure it out.


I understand. Just one question:  I like to receive plain text email, 
just so I know what url links are really pointing to. But 90% of the 
time I just read the text and would rather ignore the urls. Does 
Emacspeak allow one to simply turn-off the reading of urls?  it is 
annoying to have to listen to long urls when one is not interested in it 
and I never understood why more conventional screen readers do not have 
the ability to silence that out.

This sounds bad. What is voice-lock used for?

Also, if you cannot use US English, what do you use?  Somehow I thought
US English would be the default.
