Re: [PATCH] enable libao support in speech-dispatcher for debian squeeze

[Halim Sahin <halim.sahin@freenet.de>]

Hi,
Using a stable distro should be possible without doing unusual things.
Using a screenreader on plain tty without running a desktop with
pulseaudio should be possible as well.

The alsa bug is really old and was reported in 2009 upstream.
http://lists.freebsoft.org/pipermail/speechd/2009q1/001600.html

This issue wasn't fixed in upstream speechd afaik.
The libao output was developed to adress these issues and i wrote many
times about it during freeze period of speechd on this list and also on
spechd's list.

Sorry if the choosen priority for the bugreport  was wrong.
Unfortunately nobody complained about it during squeeze freeze period.

I wrote brailcom asked  for a backport ppackage for squeeze.
Thx for your feedback.
