Re: [orca-list] sound through pulse audio running as root may soon be fixed

hi
I can start espeakup this way, but doing so causes espeakup to lag
horribly. I can't really explain it, but starting it this way does work,
but the resulting espeakup is very slow, often being unable to keep up
with keyboard keys as they are typed.
Thanks
