Title:
[FFe] Socket activation
Status in speech-dispatcher package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
[Description]
Systemd socket activation for Speech Dispatcher.
- Creates the speech-dispatcher.socket;
- Modifies the server so that it can detect it was automatically launched
by that socket activation; and
- Modifies the Autotools files accordingly.
[Rationale]
It's relevance is described in [1], of which I quote the essential
parts [my notes in brackets]:
> Sandboxed applications [snaps] that use Speech Dispatcher currently bundle
it inside of the sandbox, so that each application has its own "private"
instance of Speech Dispatcher running. This works more or less, but it has the
downside that speech dispatcher cannot coordinate simultaneous messages from
multiple apps. When multiple sandboxed apps use Speech Dispatcher at the same
time, the text reading overlaps.
>
> In order to solve this issue, I would really like to give sandboxed apps
access to the Speech Dispatcher instance of the host.
And then,
> The only issue I see is having it auto launch. I think it would
probably be a good step forward for speech-dispatcher to be auto
launched by a systemd socket like other daemons already do on demand.
That way the host speech-dispatcher with it's configuration would be
used by all snaps,
[Additional information]
The changes are already merged upstream[2], but still not released.
I have built and installed the package in Kinetic and verified that
spd-say still causes the dispatcher spawn and emits sound. Upstream
test can also confirm this.
