Re: [orca-list] speech-dispatcher and libao

[Jacob Schmude <j schmude gmail com>]

Hi
First, make sure default_driver is set properly in /etc/libao.conf. If using pulseaudio it should be set to 
pulse, if using ALSA then it should be set to alsa. I believe Ubuntu by default sets it to alsa, which is a 
bit odd considering they've essentially gotten fully behind Pulseaudio.
Secondly, I've noticed this when trying to use a 32-bit ibmtts synthesizer on a 64-bit Linux system. I have 
all the libraries correct and installed in both their 32-bit and 64-bit forms, and yet 32-bit use of libao 
via the sd_ibmtts module doesn't work. A fully 64-bit synthesizer and speech dispatcher module, however, is 
able to use libao just fine. Are you trying to run a configuration similar to this? I haven't yet figured out 
what the problem is in this case.

   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.
