Re: [orca-list] Fix to garbled speech in Ubuntu 14.04

[Nick Wood <nick microlitesoftware co uk>]

Hi,

Yes the problem was more noticeable when Orca was reading short blocks 
of text.

However it didn't seem to be linked to suspend or changes in power 
source - sometimes it would happen right after power up at the logon 
screen, other times it would take half an hour before you hit the problem.

When you killed speech-dispatcher, sometimes the problem would come back 
straight away, other times it would be fine for a while.

I suspect any distro that ships Pulseaudio 4.0 would be affected if the 
bug does indeed lie with Pulseaudio.

As for the testing repo, I seem to remember it only installed around 
half a dozen Pulseaudio packages, so it should be easy enough to roll 
back, though I haven't tried it.

Regards,

Nick
