Re: [orca-list] Potential conflict between Orca and emacspeak with hardware synth

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi David:

Orca doesn't probe the serial ports at all.  Instead, it relies upon the 
selected speech system (gnome-speech, emacspeak, speech dispatcher) to 
perform audio/driver support on Orca's behalf.

If you take emacspeak out of the equation, and choose gnome-speech with 
eSpeak for Orca, do you still experience the hang?  If so, it might be 
instability in Gutsy that's getting you.
