well, as if pulse could actually do such a thing... please note, sound worked enough to say things like screen reader on. the chance that this is a pulse bug is far below 0 W dniu 18.08.2017 o 16:50, Janina Sajka via orca-list pisze:
Amen. I generally terminate pulse with extreme prejudice. It's not worth the trouble. Afaik, all pulse provides the Orca user that alsa doesn't, is earcons. Well, earcons are nice, but not essential. Reliable speech is essential. Long live alsa. Janina John G Heim writes:I hate pulse. Or at least I think I do. So here is what happened to me last night. I was writing a php scritp to show pathfinder (that's open-source D&D) spells in a table. All of a sudden, orca stops speaking. I hit Alt+F2 and type, "orca --replace". I hear the familiar, "screen reader reloaded" and then nothing. I do it again, same effect. I tried getting out of firefox, gedit, etc. Hard to know what I was actually doing w/o the screen reader. Finally, I reboot. Same thing! I can restart orca but it won't speak. What kind of bug, I ask myself, can survive a reboot? Then it hits me ... pulse. Pulse-f'in-audio. -- PS: If anybody is interested in the pathfinder spells web app, let me know. It's open source. -- John G.
