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

["Christian" <christian08 runbox com>]

Hi Mike,
Yes, I had this problem when I was using SD with IBMTTS some time ago myself and I think this hs already been 
discussed. This it is a bug related to the IBMTTS. I had to kill SD and restart it and then it worked fine 
again.
That's what I did, but it would be great if this bug was resolved.
