I've used kvoice on my mandrake 7 and 7.1 installations and liked it very 
much.  This time I've got a problem I can't work out.  I'm running mandrake 
7.2 with kde 2.0, a rockwell chipset 56k /voice/data/modem and an ensoniq 
es1371 sound card.  Running kvoice as root from a terminal I get the 
following:


[root@localhost /root]# kvoice
uid = 0  euid = 0
gcfg=//usr/lib/kde1-compat/share/apps/kvoice/config
PID could not get read.
Failed contacting audio server
Got write permission to m/vgetty config files.
number of files in greeting dir 2
greeting
playing /var/spool/voice/messages/greeting

device =SoundCard

Writing Wave file: Microsoft PCM format, 1 channel, 7200 samp/sec 7200 
byte/sec, 1 block align, 8 bits/samp


Kvoice writes the greeting.wav in the temp directory and it plays fine with 
another audio player but for some reason it's not connecting with the audio 
server.  Kvoice was installed by root and permissions are OK.  I've got no 
problems with any other audio programs.  I'm stumped.  Any suggestions?  Is 
this a bug with kvoice in general or just with my setup?
