Hi,
I am coming a long way on the new directions for making a newer version of
debian Vinux butt want to maybe get some suggestions I recompiled espeak to
use pulse audio I will paste the instructions that I have required from
john and a few others from mailing lists.
Edit the Makefile and find the section which reads like this:
# 'runtime' uses pulseaudio if it is running, else uses portaudio
#AUDIO = runtime
AUDIO = portaudio
#AUDIO = portaudio0
#AUDIO = portaudio2
#AUDIO = pulseaudio
#AUDIO = sada
And simply change it to read thusly:
# 'runtime' uses pulseaudio if it is running, else uses portaudio
#AUDIO = runtime
#AUDIO = portaudio
#AUDIO = portaudio0
#AUDIO = portaudio2
AUDIO = pulseaudio
#AUDIO = sada
As you can see I just commented out portaudio and uncommented
pulseaudio.
cd ../../
apt-get install espeakup
cd espeakup-0.71/
make
make install
modprobe speakup-soft
espeakup
Now I wonder If I should go threw this next part and try as I am building it
as a rolling release using sid and apt-get -u to hold back broken packages
Here is the part in question mind you I am using software speech and not
hardware speech.
In Debian Jessie/Sid, you will need to edit
/etc/default/pulseaudio to have this line:
PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1
And in /etc/pulse/client.conf:
autospawn = no
It's been a while since I configured speech for orca, but I think I had to
modify /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf to use a unix socket:
SocketPath "/var/run/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher.sock"
And in my .bash_profile, I added:
export
SPEECHD_ADDRESS="unix_socket:/var/run/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher.so
ck"
I use hardware speech with speakup on the machine running orca and I don't
run orca on the machine using espeakup, so I can't say that it will work
for both orca and speakup with espeakup. Please follow up if I missed
something.
Here is a link to the bug report.
