Re: [orca-list] speech and audio

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

So, do I need to pick one audio system and stick with it,? FOr example, if I 
install pulseAudio, will I find myself without speech because no 
symnthesizers can use pulseAudio, or can I send my speech through Alsa and 
the rest of mya udio through pulseAudio? I assume that this would depend on 
how many physical audio devices I have installed - i.e. each device is 
serviced by one driver architecture (alsa or pulseAudio in this instance). 
Is this correct?

Thanx much in advance.

No.  It could if the synth supported it nativaly, but there is currently
no such synth.

Yes.  See http://www.freebsoft.org/speechd.
