OK I take back what I said about not thinking it was pulse audio related.

Disabling software sound mixing in the sounds preferences dialogue solved 
the problem of swift cutting out (although it meant I couldn't listen to 
music with Totam).  The swift v5 voice works perfectly with ESD disabled in 
Ubuntu Hardy.

One other thing to mention is that before I started using the voice via 
gnome-speech for Orca I ran the swift terminal command (e.g swift "hello 
there") a few times and noticed it stopped working after I played a sound 
file.  It would report "Failed to open /dev/dsp" and wouldn't usually work 
again until I logged out/in.  I actually thought this would mean I couldn't 
use a swift voice while playing music but as I said, you can but music or 
not it cuts out all the time if ESD is enabled.

How do you find out what version of gnome-speech you're running?

Hey All:

Just a quick note...

I'm seeing various levels of success with Cepstral Swift.  Some people 
report its OK, others say it doesn't work so well.  This leads me to 
believe it may be an OS-specific thing related to audio.  It may also be 
just not having correctly installed and configured Swift itself.

In order to help with these problems, it would be great if people could 
try the "Troubleshooting" steps at http://live.gnome.org/Orca/GnomeSpeech. 
When reporting the results of following these steps, it would also be very 
helpful if you reported:

1) Which OS distribution and version you are using
2) Which version of gnome-speech you are using
3) Which version of Cepstral you are using
4) The results of using the engine's executable used to test the engine 
itself (e.g., Swift's 'swift' executable)
5) The results of using test-speech to determine if the engine shows up 
and works with gnome-speech
6) The version of Orca you are using

This kind of information will be very useful.

Thanks!

Will

Yeah, I kind a noticed this.  Not only is it not stable, I can't even get 
the bloody thing to show up in the list of synths under gnome-speech.

I hear you can get it to work with Speech Dispatcher, but I dono how to 
do it.

Chris.
