Commercial System Installation

======================================================================================================================================== Attila, I suspect you didn't modify src/audio/Makefile.am to link to pulse-simple. I posted the steps to install the pulse.c driver to the Vinux list instead of here, hoping to reduce the non-Orca specific traffic on this list. But, this thread seems to have unstoppable momentum... sorry Willie! Here's my steps for installing the pulse driver in speech-dispatcher on Ubuntu Lucid alpha. I've also tried it on Ubuntu Karmic, and while the package names are slightly different, the process seems to work. I've attached pulse.c again, just to keep this all in one e-mail: $ sudo apt-get build-dep speech-dispatcher $ mkdir speech-dispatcher $ cd speech-dispatcher $ apt-get source speech-dispatcher $ cd speech-dispatcher-0.6.7+git20090914~unofficial $ cp ~/Download/pulse.c src/audio Then, edit src/audio/Makefile.am, and change the line that says: PULSE_LIBS = -lpulse to PULSE_LIBS = -lpulse-simple Then, continue with: $ dpkg-buildpackage $ cd .. $ sudo dpkg -i speech-dispatcher_0.6.7+git20090914~unofficial-0ubuntu4_i386.deb $ sudo dpkg -i libspeechd2_0.6.7+git20090914~unofficial-0ubuntu4_i386.deb $ python-speechd_0.6.7+git20090914~unofficial-0ubuntu4_all.deb Then, edit ~/.speech-dispatcher/conf/speechd.conf. Change the line that starts with AudioOutputMethod to: AudioOutputMethod "pulse" Then, reboot. In theory you should have very nice performance with Orca when using pulseaudio and espeak, even with the speech rate set to 100%. It works well for me.

Original prewious tested libao driver not producing compiling error my machine, but if I owerwrite src/audio/pulse.c file, speech-dispatcher does'nt compiling. If I try apply the libao.diff file (sent another letter with attachment), the patching is not happened. Another question: If I succesfuly compiling the new driver with anybody instruction, what need choosing with spd-conf utility? Pulse, or libao? I am using Ubuntu Lucid.
