In my experience, this happens if more than one program has the sound device open at the same time. I don't get this behavior with eflite if nothing else has the device open, but I do get it if I am also running speech-dispatcher (since it keeps the sound device open all the time, regardless of whether it is actually speaking anything) or some other program that opens the device. I do see the described behavior with speech-dispatcher even if nothing else has the device open, though, so I don't know if this is what is causing it. > I've asked for people to try it on the Orca IRC channel, but all of them are > busy with other things.

If so, then you could probably install it using the cvs version of qemu, since it includes a curses driver. I've only used it a little, though. It uses oss for sound by default (aoss may help, though). It can optionally be compiled with alsa support, but I couldn't get sound to work when using it. -Mike G- _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
