Re: [orca-list] pulse audio Speakup and orca

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi
I actually did read it and had it on my main system until I went pulse
only and stopped using speakup, but it worked just fine while I used it.
The only reason I stopped was because you couldn't adjust per
application volume that way, nor could you switch hardware on the fly,
taking most of the benefits of pulse audio
Thanks
