Re: Orca Speech is interupted when a audio file is played

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Hermann:

gnome-speech is a system for managing speech engines as system 
services.   Each speech engine is wrapped inside its own gnome-speech 
driver, and the expectation from gnome-speech is that each speech engine 
manages its own audio output.  That is, rather than getting a wave file 
from the speech engine and then turning around and playing it, 
gnome-speech expects the speech engine itself to synthesize the wave 
file and play it directly, perhaps as quickly as the engine can generate 
individual samples as opposed to waiting for the engine to generate the 
entire wave.

Hope this helps,

Will
