I’ve installed the packages from the experimental repo but after some days I 
had togo back to the speech-dispatcher packages shipped with Bookworm :-(. The 
reason is that speech output stopped to work in Mate-Terminal which I use most 
of the time for work. Since I got back to the Bookworm packages the crashes are 
gone.

My system is a Debian Testing installation. I’ve replaced pulseaudio with 
pipewire manually. I am not using the normal braille and orca configuration 
when working in Mate-Terminal, instead I start another brltty instance with 
speech support using the speech-dispatcher module brltty-speechd and disable 
orcas braille output in a profile for Mate-Terminal. Also I put orca into sleep 
mode when working in Mate-Terminal to have pure brltty support for braille and 
speech.

If speech output stopped in Mate-Terminal a spd-say is still producing speech 
output. If I change to another application, e.g. Thunderbird or Firefox, orcas 
speech output is still working, so there are only problems in Mate-Terminal 
with the new speech-dispatcher packages and maybe they are related to my 
special setup, I don’t know :-).

Sorry for the maybe a bit confused description of the problem and my setup. If 
you tell me how I can provide more infos to the speech output crashes I will 
again install the new packages and try to get more information about the 
problem.

Ciao,

 Schoepp
