I managed to upgrade my archlinux system to gnome3 with orca. Everything's still speaking, but I have a couple of questions. First, when pacman was installing pulseaudio, I noticed a message suggesting disabling the snd-pcm-oss module. Is there any major trade-off one way or another? I went ahead and added "!snd-pcm-oss" to my MODULES section of rc.conf. I don't actually know what this module does, could I expect any major performence/usability problems in the future because of this? Second, I'm still using the default gnome-speech. If I followed the string of messages last month correctly, plans are to eventually depricate gnome-speech. Should I be looking into my alternatives? Is my main option speech-dispatcher? if so, can anyone point me towards a good primer for getting started with s-d? Thanks:-) |
