Re: [orca-list] idea: expose orca as a session/user bus service

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

This is what speech-dispatcher already does, although rather than 
exposing itself over dbus, I think it can use sockets to communicate, 
although I'm not familiar enough with the internals of things to comment 
much on the exact method of communication. But speech-dispatcher does 
indeed run as a service that listens for text to be spoken, and takes 
that and pipes it out through the speech synthesizer of choice, which I 
believe can be set in each client. There is talk in the future of 
migrating speech-dispatcher to use a gsettings back end that will make 
it much more flexible and easier to edit settings graphically. It may 
even be possible at that time to read any client's settings and use 
them. This would naturally include Orca's settings. Hopefully this can 
happen soon, with enough coders and resources.
