Package: espeakup
Version: 1:0.90-17
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I installed the pipewire-audio package, which pulls in pipewire-alsa
as a dependency.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I found that in order for espeakup to work, I had to remove pipewire-audio
as well as pipewire-alsa.
* What was the outcome of this action?
This allows espeakup to work again.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected that espeakup would work with the pipewire-alsa package installed.
Note that I have no issues with Espeakup, even when pulseaudio is installed.
Thus, as Pipewire is replacing pulseaudio, and in fact, mostly works well as
a replacement, I consider this a high priority bug. For now, my system has
both pipewire and pulseaudio, but with the pipewire-audio meta package
and pipewire-alsa purged.
