Re: GNOME "Telephony Application Programming Services" Proposed

Hello,

I've been following this thread and was wondering if people
were thinking about using MAS (www.mediaapplicationserver.net)
as a framework.

A few of us were batting some ideas around a while back, and we
thought one solution for tts would be to have gnome-speech
generate Speech Synthesis Markup Language (http://www.w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis/)
which it would pass to MAS.  MAS could take care of
delivering the data across the network (if needed).  On the
desktop system MAS could load a plugin to convert SSML to speech, and
finally deliver that data to the audio driver.  Something
similar could also be done for braille.
