Package: speech-dispatcher Version: 0.7.1-6.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
After enabling the corresponding line in speechd.conf, the espeak-mbrola-generic module produces no sound at all. The GenericExecuteSynth command in espeak-mbrola-generic.conf seems wrong because: - the data espeak outputs without the --pho option is not a valid input for mbrola; - the $VOLUME variable contains a float value suitable for mbrola, while espeak -a parameter expects an integer; moreover, the -a parameter has no effect at all when espeak produces phoneme data, and can be dropped at all since the volume will be determined by mbrola's -v parameter; - without the --stdin parameter, espeak will take the text from stdin, but will treat each line as a separate sentence; - without the -q parameter espeak will try to access audio devices and produce audio output by itself; - the espeak -p parameter can alter the sound output produced by mbrola and can be set to the value contained in the $PITCH env variable. The attached patch seems to fix all the above issues.
