Package: saytime Version: 1.0-26 Severity: wishlist I couldn't figure out how to make saytime work with my environment, where the sound device is often take over by pulseaudio.
This is normally not a problem because most stuff talks to pulseaudio nowadays... But somehow saytime (or sox?) doesn't: I have tried various things like: saytime -t pulseaudio # sox fails saytime -t pulse # sox says "missing filename" padsp saytime # sox says device busy Is there a way to make this work? -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages saytime depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u6 ii libsox-fmt-alsa 14.4.1-5 ii oss-compat 6 ii sox 14.4.1-5 saytime recommends no packages. saytime suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
