Well, espeakup itself does not use pulseaudio or portaudio (it does not even depend on either), it's libespeak1 which uses one or the other. espeak is indeed built with AUDIO=runtime, which allows it to use either portaudio or pulseaudio as desired by the user. > For now, I cannot uninstall portaudio to find out if espeakup can use > pulseaudio once uninstalled Actually it's the converse: espeak always tries to use pulseaudio, and reverts back to portaudio only if pulseaudio is not working. > Probably on installation an installer ought to have the option to > use pulseaudio or portaudio That would be yet another additional question which would be obscure for most users, we don't really want that. > if I reinstall espeakup will it use portaudio or pulseaudio > while both portaudio and pulseaudio packages are on the machine. As I said, espeak (and thus espeakup) should already be trying to use pulseaudio by default. If that's not the case, then it's where investigation needs to be done. Samuel
