Re: [orca-list] how does portaudio19 relate to orca?

[Willem van der Walt <wvdwalt csir co za>]

Hi,
Portaudio is a sound library used by espeak.
Espeak is one of the voice synthesizers that can be used by orca.
There are two versions of portaudio around. 18 and 19, or I think it is 
0.18 and 0.19.
0.19 I understand has alsa support where 0.18 does not.  In practice it 
means that it is easyer to send two sound streams to the soundcard when 
using  portaudio 19.  So you can listen to a song while e.g. writing a 
document using espeak as your synthesizer.
HTH, Willem
