Re: [orca-list] Revamped explanation of problems relating to lack of speech accessability

["'Janina Sajka'" <janina rednote net>]

I believe jack and orca are incompatible, but I don't regard this as a
problem because, if I'm doing the kind of serious audio work that
requires jack, I don't want my screen reader mixed in with my music.
Besides, there are very affordable audio modules available these days,
certainly adequate for TTS output at under $15 USD.

On the other hand, if you care about jack, you are probably running
something considerably more quality, i.e. RME., that cost possibly two
magnitudes more.

PS: I currently have 8 audio devices all funneling through a Mackie
mixer with two sets of output speakers that I can route through.
