Package: festival Version: 1:2.0.95~beta-2 Severity: wishlist I like to avoid installing oss-compat since the OSS emulation done by ALSA is imperfect and causes problems when two programs want to use the sound card at once.
If you make festival Recommend oss-compat then it will still be pulled in by default, but weird people like me will be able to configure it to use ALSA (kind of) by setting Audio_Method to Audio_Command. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (430, 'testing'), (420, 'unstable'), (410, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages festival depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii dpkg 1.15.7.2 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-8 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libesd0 0.2.41-7 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libestools1.2 1:1.2.96~beta-6 Edinburgh Speech Tools Library ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-7 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii sgml-base 1.26+nmu1 SGML infrastructure and SGML catal ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-11 System-V-like runlevel change mech Versions of packages festival recommends: ii festvox-kallpc16k [festival-v 1.4.0-5 American English male speaker for Versions of packages festival suggests: pn festival-freebsoft-utils <none> (no description available) pn pidgin-festival <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
