Re: [g-a-devel]Gnome Speech FreeTTS Driver

Hmmm,

I guess calling the method you suggest from the test app is the only 
solution at the moment.  Problem with doing it from the server side is that 
the time between spawning "freetts-synthesis-driver" which spawns the VM 
and the time when bonobo_activation_active_server_register is called by 
some JNI stuff is too long (five or six seconds).  No way I know of to 
speed up VM startup either...

arg!
