Package: speech-dispatcher
Version: 0.7.1-6.1
Severity: important

Hi,

 recently a system upgrade changed speech-dispatcher from 0.6.7-4
 to 0.7.1-6.1.  Ever since I have noticed that I leave my desktop
 session running overnight (which I do on a regular basis for
 work-related reasons), the next day I don't have audio, and
 there are always two instances of the pulseaudio process
 running, the one that my desktop session spawned, and the one
 speech dispatcher spawns.  I'm guessing my pulseaudio process
 goes to sleep and at some point releases the audio device, and
 then the speech dispatcher's pulseaudio process takes over it.
 If I kill speech dispatcher's pulseaudio process sound works
 again.

 From what I can tell speech dispatcher expects a single system
 wide pulseaudio instance, and for whatever reason it thinks it's
 ok to start it itself.  The only problem is that my user does
 not have access to that pulseaudio instance, so the whole thing
 is broken.

 "important" because it's breaking other software.  I'm actually
 surprised it's not breaking for most people, probably because
 most people have hardwarde mixing.

 Thanks for your attention,
