Re: [orca-list] [Off topic] system sounds on intrepid

Hello Bram and list, 

I don't have your message to hand, but I seem to remember that you're
using the ibmtts synthesiser.  I use this via voxin, and I believe
somewhere on the voxin web site it mentions that this synthesiser has
to use the sound devices exclusively.  So it's a voxin problem, if it
can be seen as such.
