Package: saytime Version: 1.0-19 Severity: important
Hi, on a very recent PC - Intel D945GNT with ALSA as sound system- the current saytime package talks like this: "the time is s, nine n, twenty y pm, and d twenty six seconds" It seems that this should be the driver (cf. hda_intel): turning the chipset off in the bios and replacing the audio chip with a SBLive emu10k1 results in resolving that problem, but under ALSA saytime is slower to talk than under OSS. I'd like to see better samples in it, talking a little bit faster (more human), and fixing each slowness problem of it. I also not understand while I can play wav or mp3 files even under oss or alsa, while using saytime causes so much differences between oss or alsa, + so much quality deterioration depending on the driver who is used by alsa or oss: maybe I can sugges to build a unique au file who is simply sended to the dsp, just as timidity turns a midi file into audio sended to the dsp: its fluent, it's clear, and dealy times are becoming smaller ans smaller since pcs are currently over 3gHz of speed.
