[g-a-devel] Re: bonobo-activating gnome-speech causes exception

[Aditya Pandey <aditya kumar pandey gmail com>]

Ok. I have been able to solve most of this problem.



This used to happen when I launched and quit my application more than
1 times and would disappear when I restart the machine [much like we
do in Windows -- you get stuck, then restart the machine ;)]. Turns
out I had programmed my app this way that end functions [which kill
all the processes] were not getting called.



Now all the processes except sox is terminated properly and just when
the queued text for sox gets complete, it also quits on its own.



But what should happen is that sox should also be terminated when
everything else [bonobo-activation, festival-synthesis-driver and
festival] does. Any ideas on how to go about this?



Also, Speaker_stop doesnt really stop the voice and does not throw any
exception.

Code Sample:

Bool GNOMESPEECH_Stop()
{
	CORBA_Environment ev;
	CORBA_exception_init (&ev);
	if (speaker)
		GNOME_Speech_Speaker_stop (speaker, &ev);
	if (BONOBO_EX (&ev))
	{
		printf ("Exception %s stopping speaker\n", bonobo_exception_get_text (&ev));
		return false;
	}
	CORBA_exception_free (&ev);
	return true;
}

Bool GNOMESPEECH_End()
{
	GNOMESPEECH_Stop();
	if (speaker) {
		bonobo_object_release_unref (speaker, NULL);
		speaker = NULL;
	}
	bonobo_debug_shutdown();
	return true;
}
