Re: [orca-list] is it possible to build gnome-speech with alsa asdefault underintepid

["Aruni Sharma" <libranarsh gmail com>]

is no longer the case under intrepid. If I set speech-dispatcher to
start automaticaly with alsa, espeak under gnome-speech stops speaking
altogether.
thanks and regards,
Aruni.
