Re: why speech-dispatcher uses pulseaudio?

I think there is just something trivial wrong in our latest upload to
experimental. I completely not understand why your compilation from
upstream works and the experimental upload not. There is no differerece.
This regards bug 734392 [1]. I sent more info yesterday, but this time
the system did not receive this post. I explained there, that I no
longer confirm the difference between the 2 versions. Both work with
alsa and do not with pulseaudio. Maybe the difference came from using
different configuration files (/etc vs /usr/local/etc). When I am at the
other box again, I will resend it.
As for the README.Debian file [2], it answers my question. But I didn't
know that this is an important file. Usually I read the documentation
from man pages.
=== quote from README.Debian
When Speech Dispatcher is used with direct sound output to ALSA or OSS
(on the
contrary to using a sound server, e.g. PulseAudio) and your audio device
is not
set up to allow concurrent access, Speech Dispatcher may block all your
audio
output. For this reason the default Speech Dispatcher configuration
comes with
PulseAudio as the only audio output.

These 2 things together make my bug report invalid. It can be closed now
or after my suplemental information arrives to the tracker.
There are still things to do, to make the startup failure more readable
to user. I think I will address it upstream. Luke promised (on speechd
mailing list) to take care of a potential patch.
