Re: [orca-list] orca suggestion

[Garrett Klein <garrettklein comcast net>]

The problems I have are all espeak-synthesis-driver and gnome-speech 
related, I think it has to do with alsa/snd_intel-hda causing setfaults. 
I've seen some systems with integrated AC97 chips where Orca can't even 
speak an entire sentence without cutting out and in general sounding 
horrible. Just my $0.02.
