Re: [orca-list] [ANNOUNCE] libao (new audio driver for speechd including working pulseaudio support).

[Jacob Schmude <j schmude gmail com>]

Hi
Sorry but I do have to ask the obvious question. Is sd going to move completely to libao rather than having 
its own audio backends and, if not, why not work on speechd's default audio system which has a Pulseaudio 
driver of its own? I'm not against speechd moving to libao by any means, I actually like the idea as it would 
mean one less audio layer to worry about in speechd itself, so I hope that's the direction speechd is moving.
Looks like I have something new to try out. :)

   The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that 
when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or 
repair.
