Hello all, I think I have the same problem with espeak on Ubuntu Jaunty i386 with Gnome.
With orca or espeak on the command line I only get farting noises out of my speakers (sorry, but this exactly is what it sounds like). I already did what is written in Part A of: Ubuntu HOWTO - PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578) I also compiled several versions of espeak-1.40.02 myself by changing the Makefile to one of these: AUDIO = portaudio AUDIO = pulseaudio with portaudio18 and portaudio19 (Ubuntu versions), together with exchanging the "portaudio.h" in "espeak-1.40.02/src" to the appropriate versions. All-in-all I compiled four different versions, but no success, neither with pulseaudio, portaudio18 nor portaudio19. I tried to compile espeak-1.40.02 with a portaudio19 SVN snapshot (May 5th 2009) but instantly got overloaded with ALSA errors so I decided to dump it. I would be willing to do further investigations but need some hints where to search next. Here's what I get with espeak-1.40.02 on the command line: --- xterm output --- bash$> LIBASOUND_DEBUG=1 espeak "This is a test."
