Re: [orca-list] orca with pulse audio

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Kendell, See Jose's post, and look at how Vinux does things now and howVinux 3.x handled them&compare. 
With pulse you avoid issues like yours, or work around them by using separate log-ins, start speechd-up as 
root from a   
terminal emulator on many systems to get console speech. I do not know if this would have a similar effect 
using espeakup, 
but kind of doubt it.
