When pulseaudio is enabled, all sound is delayed on the order of 1/2
seconds, which makes Orca a nightmare to use for blind users. It's
completely unacceptable for a main machine. When pulseaudio is
disabled, speech performance is great. I filed a bug about this in
November:
Greetings,
I am wondering why Ubuntu has decided not to make a binary package
of a speakup kernel and modules. I and a lot of other blind people would
really benefit from it. Many other distros distribute binary versions of
speakup kernels and so it was always odd to me that the most
Running from a virtual machine does make it harder to know when to take
steps to turn on the accessibility options because there's no CD that
will start spinning at the right time. However, I think the boot prompt
gives you about 30 seconds, so if you wait about 10 to 15 seconds after

boot screen appears because I'm blind and cannot see the screen. The only
sighted person in my house is 2-years old, too young to

message:

Without pulseaudio, alsa takes over and of course we get back to the
good
I want to befend karmic as not being so horrible and useless as everyone
likes to make out.
In my opinion pulse audio has been a great addition to Ubuntu.
For my project open-sapi now out performs e-speak making for a smooth
and responsive desktop experience when using text to speech with orca.
Hi, I have done the following and am using karmic without any hassles.
in fact it's better than previous distros as far as responsiveness is
concerned:
#apt-get install alsa-oss
#apt-get purge pulseaudio.
Thanks,
Aruni.
