You don't *need* portaudio or Pulse, but then you'll only be able to create WAV files, and not have the audio played live [1]. The developers should probably set one of them to be enabled by default in IUSE, since only creating WAV files is a very unusual use-case for a screen-reader. > Another mistake I made was emerging espeak before emerging > sys-kernel/gentoo-sources but since I'll have to reemerge, the > sys-kernel/gentoo-sources package has been emerged on the system now. The > right order of operations here is critical! That's quite rare for Gentoo; Portage usually takes care of all that type of thing without requiring manual user interaction. The gentoo-sources ebuild doesn't really do much, aside from calling a couple of functions in the `kernel-2` eclass [2, 3] to extract the sources, generate the symlinks, and check for any potential versioning issues. Can you provide some more details? Why is the order relevant?
