Re: [orca-list] nvda under the Wine

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

I'm currently not able to get NVDA speaking using Wine. It complains 
about ALSA, Pulse and a few other things, but it does play the startup 
and shutdown sounds, so ALSA and Pulse don't seem to be the real 
problem. I have the portable version of NVDA in $HOME/nvda. Running

cd nvda
wine nvda.exe

plays the startup sound followed immediately by the shutdown sound. 
Several errors about alsa, Pulse and a dll called winemp3.acm, which I 
believe is just an mp3 codec, and shouldn't be required to start NVDA 
speech, appear in the terminal, and the program dies. It looks as though 
fixes are needed in Wine somewhere before NVDA can be made to speak.
