Re: [orca-list] Raspbian: Problem starting orca under ratpoison

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,


This might actually be a bug.

The intention was that producing sounds such as beeps to signal 
progressbar updates is optional feature and gstreamer is optional 
dependency of orca.

Thus now when thinking more about your situation I would try the 
following if I were you.

If you want to have speech and sound do something to make the sound 
working perhaps by tweaking boot params of your rpi or installing alsa 
or pulseaudio whatever might be missing and then make sure gstreamer is 
installed and can play sound.

If you don't need speech output and sound, try to uninstall gstreamer 
and its related packages, it might be that there are some dev or python 
specific gstreamer packages packaged for debian.


Greetings


Peter
