Sound / voice issues
Hello,
Sorry if this has already been reported here, current schedule is
too tight to let me follow the list as I would like.
Running an up-to-date Debian Unstable with the new
pipewire-system-services package installed, speech-dispatcher havinb
been adapted to this so that only one system-wide instance is running.
This worked all fine before the update, namely both Orca and the two
instances of brltty (one to follow the virtual consoles and one to
follow graphical terminals) were all connecting to the speech-dispatcher
server.
I am now encountering two issues that I believe are independent. I am
happy to report bug if/where appropriate but would like to ask for help
in diagnosing and solving the problem before doing so.
Issue 1: users can't play sound.
My understanding of the problem: Pipewire's socket,
/run/pipewire/pipewire-0, belongs to root.nogroup and is neither
readable nor writable by others. If I run the following command:
chmod o+rw /run/pipewire/pipewire-0
users become able to play sound again, but this has of course to be
repeated after each boot.
Issue 2: Orca 48.1-2 does not see all the voices that brltty sees.
More precisely, BRLTTY happily uses the Thomas french Vocalizer voice,
but this voice is not seen in Orca's menus and cannot be selected,
although it was theconfigured one before.
On this second issue I am clueless.
Any help warmly appreciated.
Thanks,
Seb.
