How ever, then I found another problem. All speech messages are enqueued. So
if I walk two lines quickly, brltty speaks the first line done before it
starts to speak the second line. I have set "say line mode" to immediate.
This is probably a bug and I would be very pleased if it could be fixed.
Are you sure you're using the latest development code? I just tested this and
the previous line is ineeed stopped before the next line is spoken. Perhaps
this was a bug in an older release.
I ran the following:
$ make clean
$ git pull
$ ./configure --with-espeak=no
$ make
$ sudo ./run-brltty
The problem is more precisely that the speech isn't interrupted when I
move to a new line. The lines are not enqueued as I said before. For
example. Let say brltty reads a very long line and I walk 10 lines away.
Brltty doesn't stop to speak the first line until it is done, but when
it is done with the first line, it will start to speak the current line
I'm at and not all lines in between.
I expect brltty to interrupt the speech immediately when I move to a new
line. It is very strange if this is different on different systems.
Maybe it is a problem in espeak-ng. I'm using espeak-ng 1.50.
I'm willing to help as much as possible to fix this problem because it
is very annoying.
Best regards,
Tage

If I just install espeak-ng in arch linux and run:
$ ./configure && make
I get an error because libespeak.so is not included in espeak-ng on arch
linux.
That's correct as eSpeak-NG uses libespeak0ng.so (not libespeak.so). Perhaps
you're trying to use the es (eSpeak) driver rather than the en (eSpeak-NG)
driver.
Probably brltty should not try to build the espeak-driver automaticly if
espeak-ng is available.
Yes, it should, because they're two completely different speech engines.
But if I run:
# ln -s /usr/lib/libespeak-ng.so.1 /usr/lib/libespeak.so.1
# ln -s /usr/lib/libespeak-ng.so.1 /usr/lib/libespeak.so
$ ./configure && make
It works!
But that's because you're introducing an error into your system by pretending
that libespeak.so should really be libespeak-ng.so.
