Re: [orca-list] audio ducking, good feature to have?

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,


I haven't really tested not otherwise worked with this but what about 
pulseaudio role ducking?

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Modules/#index66h3


I think there are streams that are considered important and other 
streams which volume should be lowered when such a high priority stream 
is playing.


Is it worth tinkering with this or from pulseaudio related stand-point 
speech-dispatchir is playing silence when there is no speech?


Greetings


Peter
