[g-a-devel]FreeTTS Support in GNOME Speech

[Marc Mulcahy <marc mulcahy sun com>]

Hi All:

I am trying to implement the getAllVoices call in GNOME Speech 0.2 for FreeTTS:

  enum voice_gender {
    gender_male,
    gender_female
  };

  struct VoiceInfo {
    string name;
    short language;
    voice_gender gender;
  };

  typedef sequence<VoiceInfo> VoiceInfoList;
...
VoiceInfoList getAllVoices ();

The Java idl compiler translates this to:

org.GNOME.Speech.VoiceInfo[] getAllVoices ()

So, I'm creating an array of VoiceInfos:

VoiceInfo[] voices;
voices = new VoiceInfo[1];
voices[1] = new VoiceInfo ();
voices[1].name = new String ("deault");
...

And it compiles.  What I get back on the ORBit2 client side is a Nill 
object.  Any ideas what I might be doing wrong, or what might be happening 
here?
