Ok, so I decided to try and set it up. I installed the necessary pulseaudio packages. I then put in my .bash_profile pulseaudio --daemonize and gnome seems to do this by itself This works alright, but I have some remaining problems. 1. Applications as root do not work. This means I can not use speakup (via espeakup) and brltty sounds do not play. Jason, do you run your pulseaudio in system-mode? I did experiment with this early on, but now things are working reasonably well I'm reluctent to try unless I know it's the right option. 2. Speech via emacspeak is a little bit choppy - the ends of words are sometimes omitted. Also the emacspeak espeak driver seems to crash every now and then and I need to do ctr-e ctr-s to restart it. Apart from this local user applications seem to be working pretty well. Thanks for your help, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
