Re: [orca-list] trying to set up speech-dispatcher as my speech engine of choice rather than gnome-speech

Hi Scott,
I've a similar problem.
Looking in the /var/log/speech-dispatcher/espeak.log file I fount the folloing messages:

 Wed Oct 22 09:14:35 2008 [583097] ALSA: Opening ALSA sound output
 Wed Oct 22 09:14:35 2008 [583240] ALSA: Opening ALSA device
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
 Wed Oct 22 09:14:35 2008 [630783] ALSA ERROR: Cannot open audio device default (Device or resource busy)
 Wed Oct 22 09:14:35 2008 [630866] ALSA ERROR: Cannot initialize Alsa device 'default': Can't open.

 If I stop orca before run the spd-say command, I can hear the message typed as parametter to the spd-say command.

Hello there everyone,

I am trying to set up espeak as my speech engine.  i have followed all
the steps even the trouble shooting and did not solve my problem.  The
problem is when I do a "spd-say" anything it does not speak. Here are my
configuration files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
