Problems with gnome-speech

[Bram Duvigneau <b duvigneau hccnet nl>]

Hi all,

I just sntalled Ubuntu on my desktop system. I checked out the latest
gnopernicus, gnome-speech, java-access-bridge and orca from cvs.

However, the festival driver of gnome-speech seems to work not
perfectly. In gnopernicus it only says "speech reloaded" and when I
start orca-setup, I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py", line 509, in __speak
    return speaker.say(text)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py", line 80, in say
    return self.gnome_speaker.say(text)
COMM_FAILURE
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/orca-setup", line 279, in ?
    useSpeech = setupSpeech ()
  File "/usr/bin/orca-setup", line 226, in setupSpeech
    keyEcho = sayAndPrint (_("Use key echo?  Enter y or n: "), True, True)
  File "/usr/bin/orca-setup", line 104, in sayAndPrint
    speech.speak(text)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/orca/speech.py", line 110, in speak
    __speechserver.speak(text, __resolveACSS(acss))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py", line 539, in speak
    self.__speak(text, acss, interrupt)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py", line 516, in __speak
    self.__reset()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py", line 659, in __reset
    self.__getSpeaker(speakers[name])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py", line 282, in __getSpeaker
    if self.__speakers.has_key(acss.name()):
AttributeError: '_Speaker' object has no attribute 'name'

Any ideas what is wrong here?
