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



Well,
It is interesting. I haven't tried for some time, however for me, on any
distro I ever touched, per user pulseaudio + things like espeakup never
just worked.
And if they did, it would mean I don't understand something about linux
sound architecture, as all my knowledge suggests it shouldn't work
without, at least, running pulseaudio as a system service or somehow
taking it out of the way at right moments.

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.

How does it work then, if pulseaudio releases device, and some gui
program plays something, it plays on pulseaudio, so you shouldn't be
hearing it on console because pa just released the device.
Also in any case it's still the thing. Things like that should work out
of the box and shouldn't require workarounds. So if there is a proper
way to fix it that would make it hassle free it should be considered to
be pushed upstream, if it cannot be pushed upstream, then the issues
that prevent it should be mitigated.

For example does your setup allow me to play sound on gui and hear
it on
console when I log in to the same user, or, play sound on console when
screenreader is speaking?
Like the last one is likely possible if espeakup uses dmix.

Yes to both.
