Re: Getting Orca working with Karmic

 One thing that seems to have helped was to remove pulseaudio.
 However, before that, you need to install alsa-oss, or you wont have a
 sound system at all.  This seems to have made Orca able to clear out
 the speech-dispatcher queue of sound you don't want to hear.  It's
 still pretty unstable.  I haven't been able to use it in any
 productive way for more than a couple minutes at a time before
 something crashes.

What speech-dispatcher configuration are you using? By default, 
speech-dispatcher will try pulse, and fall back to alsa if pulse is not 
running/available. Speech-dispatcher, appart from that pain in the neck crasher 
which I still can't put a finger on, work quite well together, when the phases 
of the sun/moon/earth are aligned etc. :)

Making voxin use alsa?

2009-10-24 Thread David Sexton
Hi, I remember there is a way to make voxin use alsa with gnome speech 
services, but I forgot... Anyway, system sounds are not playing while 
it's talking which means one is using oss or something
Oh, using ubuntu 9.04 and voxin 0.24 on 64bit machine
