Re: [orca-list] Orca is silent after updating Gnome-Speech



Hi Hermann:

I haven't tried in a while, but the "/usr/bin/aoss" trick should work. There might be a 'sticky' Bonobo thing hanging around that remembered the old GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Espeak.server file. Try logging out, running 'bonobo-slay', and then logging back in.

BTW, I've heard that pulseaudio support is helping address the notion of device contention. As a result of this, you might not run into gnome-speech device contention issues when you're using a system that is using pulseaudio.

Hi Hermann:

Two quick things to check (in addition to stuff you can find under the "Troubleshooting" section of http://live.gnome.org/Orca/GnomeSpeech):

1) Does 'espeak' work?  If not, eSpeak is broken.

2) Does test-speech work? If not, the gnome-speech driver for eSpeak isn't working and we'll need to figure out what went wrong with the build/install (i.e., did you use --prefix=/usr).

Everything is different: Orca speaks with Gnome-speech and Espeak, provided you stop SD. Since SD uses Alsa, this blocks the OSS output. Furthermore I had to realize, that in /usr/lib/bonobo/server the Gnome-speech file for Espeak has been set bakc to use with OSS only. So I redid the instruction of the Wiki to make it work with alsa-oss. But unfortunately this seems no longer possible. Orca continues speaking, but neither SD, nor any media player is working along with Orca. I use SD together with the latest brltty and I would like to use media players without Orca stopping to speak. So what's wrong now? The line in the GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Espeak.server file reads as follows:
type="exe" location="/usr/bin/aoss /usr/bin/espeak-synthesis-driver"
