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

Maybe I'm mising something, but I am using dmix and see applications when I select apps that are using pulse 
in mate volume control. I am not even using 
mate, just have some mate components. 
I use alsa for most  things, but skype, gnome mplayer, and a couple other apps are using pulse either because 
they must, (skype), or because I selected 
to use pulse for input or out put devices in app prefs.

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

It isn't necessary to use systemwide Pulse audio anymore.  I use console speech on my Ubuntu box at home 
which has Pulse Audio  installed and configured in the recommended way (not systemwide) and I am able to 
use Speakup just fine.  The trick is to start it from a Gnome Terminal within X:

sudo modprobe speakupg_soft start=1
sudo espeakup

Just my thoughts,

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-dispatc
her.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.
