Package: speech-dispatcher-festival Version: 0.7.1-6 Severity: normal Latest update of speech-dispatcher launches two pulseaudio instances that locks the audio system.
Speech-dispatcher launch two pulseaudio instances locking the audio hardware and then, users can not use this hardware. When user log in into gnome, pulseaudio only detects the "dummy output" sound device (no hardware device detected) and no sound can be played. If root type: killall -9 pulseaudio , then hardware releases and users can use pulseaudio --start and start playing sounds (hardware device is detected). The solution I find: remove the speech-dispatcher package. Then, all is working again. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_ES.utf8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
