Re: [orca-list] Red hat enterprise and GNome

Hi, Alex.

Yes, sadly, I have no Speakup until I've logged in via the gui.  I'd have no
Speakup but for Bill Acker, and my .bash_history file has long deleted the
commands and downloads by which I got it under his direction.  I wish I
could use my TripleTalk LT, but I couldn't get that boy working.

Hi, Al,

That sort of latency is almost absolutely caused by Pulse Audio.  It's one
of its trademarks or calling cards, you might say.  You need to tweaak your
configuration files.  It has ben a while since I had to fool with it so, I'm
sorry, I do not remember the file names.  Vinux uses pulse in systemwide
mode.  Also, Bill Cox did something to it to get it to not have the latency
you describe.  What you appear to have is a bit of the pure, old boy, as in,
stock puse.  It's exciting to hear Fedora has talking console.  Si this true
after you have launched x?
