Ticket #5769 (closed defect: wontfix)

Opened 5 years ago

Last modified 5 years ago

Espeak speech synth does not work because it requires OSS emulation in Alsa that is not configured by default. Espeak is required for the screen-reader project.

Description

Preamble: Speech synths like espeak require OSS emulation support to be able to detect and use the /dev/dsp device that many other accessability based audio applications require to be usable.

Description: By default this device is not viewable because Alsa is not configured to emulate oss devices by default.

Fix: This can be fixed by simply configuring ALLSA to emulate OSS devices and the loading the correct modules on boot:

snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-oss snd-pcm-oss

Blocking: This is currently blocking my attempts to help the screen reader project.

This is three lines of text in a file and another 4 lines in another. Thats it. After doing this on my XO espeak works perfectly.

This is not a duplicate; The other bug mentioned has to do with performance and does not have the correct root problem described. It incorrectly states the symptom of the bug, not the bug that this is.p
