Re: [orca-list] Newest Espeak and Debian Squeeze with Orca

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
ESpeak Audio output requirements have not changed for quite noticeable 
time I guess at least two years.
So if corresponding portaudio headers are in place you can compile 
eSpeak from source using standard ./configure && make && make install 
procedure or if you are better at packaging than me then you should also 
be able to update debian package to build current stable version of 
eSpeak or any other version.

Greetings

Peter
