Re: [orca-list] Arch linux mate, orca issue

I will try libao again as I am not sure that my attempt was before or after last SD update. 
That being said, while the skips when reading blocks of text in consoles can be annoying, I got absolutely no 
speech with libao when I tried, and the 
pure alsa approach has never left my box speechless...lol.
It is fast and easy enough to switch from one to the other, so if everyone else is having good results with 
libao, well try that first, but if you have 
trouble a pure alsa system has kept me productive for over a year.
