Re: [orca-list] Solving screenreader sound problems in presence of sound servers once and for all

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

I suggest that you bring this issue to a support channel for your 
distribution
as this works out of the box in others.

There is nothing to be pushed upstream (to ALSA or PulseAudio developers) as
this depends on the configuration provided by the distribution in use or
customized by the user.
