[orca-list] Problem with speech stopping when using ibmtts and speech-dispatcher

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I am noticing a problem when using ibmtts with speech-dispatcher, orca 
stops speaking near links with that as the synthesiser set up. I am not 
sure where the fix should be made, but I can reliably produce it when 
using orca, so its certainly something to do with what orca is sending 
to speech-dispatcher. Please say if you want me to file this as a bug 
against orca.

To reproduce:
1. Set orca's speech output to speech-dispatcher and synthesiser as 
ibmtts (I am using the UK English voxin).
2. Go to a web page where there is a link in the middle of the line 
(http://wiki.archlinux.org will do and will be the example for the rest 
of this report).
3. Cursor down on to the line with the link in the middle of it (in the 
archlinux wiki example the bit where it lists all the languages will do).

Expected: Orca will read the entire line.
Actual: Orca will stop at the end of the first link, in some cases it 
will stop at the beginning of the first link. It always seems to be at 
the join of text and a link.
Repeatability: One of the two options in actual will always happen.
Additional information: Orca 2.30.2, speech-dispatcher 0.7.1, all on 
archlinux (I think I have seen it on a debian system but can't remember 
versions, I think it was present in earlier speech-dispatchers). I do 
notice error messages in my speech-dispatcher log files, would these be 
useful? I don't get this when using espeak with speech-dispatcher.
