Hi Pardon, I hit the "send" button.

At the same time, using Orca, graphical applications such as Firefox are used. For the GUI, the screen reader Orca runs as a per-user process. The screen readers use the daemon speech-dispatcher to emit speech. Speech-dispatcher is run per-user. There is a conflict between Orca using speech-dispatcher to access pipewire and the command-line screen readers using speech-dispatcher (as root) accessing pipewire. I would like to start a discussion on what opportunities exist to allow blind users to use their Debian system on the GUI and the TTY from the start. For less technical users, configuring piewire/pulse in a mode where the both screen readers can emit speech is a common issue. For pulse, it once was possible to run pulse as root. Although not adviced, both screen readers could emit speech + the audio on the desktop would work. Pipewire has a different architecture and I wonder whether there is a better solution to this problem? Thanks Sebastian
