Re: [orca-list] Red hat enterprise and GNome

Hi, Al,

That sort of latency is almost absolutely caused by Pulse Audio.  It's
one of its trademarks or calling cards, you might say.  You need to
tweaak your configuration files.  It has ben a while since I had to
fool with it so, I'm sorry, I do not remember the file names.  Vinux
uses pulse in systemwide mode.  Also, Bill Cox did something to it to
get it to not have the latency you describe.  What you appear to have
is a bit of the pure, old boy, as in, stock puse.  It's exciting to
hear Fedora has talking console.  Si this true after you have launched
x?
