Hi,
I found out what happened:
In order to avoid loosing sound after a sound event has been played, I 
changed the esd-settings from
auto_spawn=1
to 0. This solves the problem I reported a few days ago: SD seems to go 
down 
after a sound event file has been played. In fact the mixer was turned down 
and not SD.
But solving this problem, another came up: When a synth changes the sound 
output - let's say from Alsa to OSS - no sound can be heard. Using players 
like mplayer works because they use Alsa.
So using the whole sound stuff without disturbancies seems nearly 
impossible.
I decided to stay with SD as system, because testing some reading functions 
with GS and espeak made me perceive the suttering more clearly than before. 
If you have heard a fluency speech for some days, you won't miss it 
anymore.
