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

[Halim Sahin <halim sahin t-online de>]

Hi,
In my opinion sd should use libao only for audio output because of 
1. We have no stable working audio output in speechd
Alsa driver isn't stable enough and crashs very often.
Pulseaudiodriver has serious perofrmance issues.
Oss driver produces on my machine many dropouts with long documents.

2. Libao is a crossplattform library and works stable.
It contains all available outputs which spechd supports currently.
(alsa, oss, nas, irix sun, pulse ....).


There is no need to develope new drivers for same task in
speech-dispatcher.

Please try out the new driver and give feedback.

Regards
Halim.
