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

Hi
It seems something else is going wrong for me then. I'd already checked those links when I was making sure 
the 32-bit libraries were installed properly. That was actually the first thing I did. Are you trying to use 
libao through Pulse or alsa? I'm trying through pulse, perhaps there's an issue there?

   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
