Public bug reported:
The command definition (GenericExecuteSynth) in /etc/speech-
dispatcher/modules/pico-generic.conf use a fixed file name for the wave
file ($TMPDIR/pico.wav):
GenericExecuteSynth \
"pico2wave -w $TMPDIR/pico.wav -l $VOICE \'$DATA\' && $PLAY_COMMAND
$TMPDIR/pico.wav
If you use spd-say or a speech dispatcher enabled application with root,
it will create the pico.wav file owned by root with restricted
permissions.
If you try to use spd-say with a different user, it will then fail,
failing to access the /tmp/pico.wav file.
A solution would be to create a temporary file per user ID:
GenericExecuteSynth \
"USERID=`id -u` ; pico2wave -w $TMPDIR/pico-$USERID.wav -l $VOICE \'$DATA\' &&
$PLAY_COMMAND $TMPDIR/pico-$USERID.wav"
