Package: speech-dispatcher Version: 0.7-6 Severity: important This is a problem on Debian Squeeze but has also been a problem on Debian Lenny.
The problem is that when I have speech-dispatcher configured using the espeak module, it will stop responding sometimes and go into an infinite loop. "top" will show speech dispatcher using 100% CPU and it will no longer respond. This happens mostly when I use Mumble with speech-dispatcher. This has happened on both Lenny and Squeeze. I've been using flite instead of espeak becuase the problem with flite is much less severe (rarely crashes the way espeak does). My exact speechd.conf is this: LogLevel 3 LogDir "default" DefaultVolume 100 AudioOutputMethod "alsa" AddModule "espeak" "sd_espeak" "espeak.conf" AddModule "festival" "sd_festival" "festival.conf" AddModule "flite" "sd_flite" "flite.conf" AddModule "ivona" "sd_ivona" "ivona.conf" AddModule "dummy" "sd_dummy" "" DefaultModule espeak Include "/etc/speech-dispatcher/clients/*.conf" Include "clients/*.conf" I have Mumble compiled from scratch (by hand that is). Regardless, it shouldn't start using 100% CPU (speech-dispatcher that is). Mumble is communicating with speech-dispatcher over unix_socket. In Lenny it communicates over network sockets I believe and the problem happens as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages speech-dispatcher depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii dpkg 1.15.8.5 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-6 Manage installed documentation in ii libao4 1.0.0-5 Cross Platform Audio Output Librar ii libasound2 1.0.23-2.1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libaudio2 1.9.2-4 Network Audio System - shared libr ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdotconf1.0 1.0.13-3 Configuration file parser library ii libespeak1 1.43.03-2 A multi-lingual software speech sy ii libflite1 1.4-release-2 a small run-time speech synthesis ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libpulse0 0.9.21-3+b1 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsndfile1 1.0.21-3 Library for reading/writing audio ii libspeechd2 0.7-6 Speech Dispatcher: Shared librarie ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages speech-dispatcher recommends: pn pulseaudio <none> (no description available) Versions of packages speech-dispatcher suggests: pn speech-dispatcher-doc-cs <none> (no description available) pn speech-dispatcher-festival <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/speech-dispatcher changed: RUN=yes /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf changed: LogLevel 3 LogDir "default" DefaultVolume 100 AudioOutputMethod "alsa" AddModule "espeak" "sd_espeak" "espeak.conf" AddModule "festival" "sd_festival" "festival.conf" AddModule "flite" "sd_flite" "flite.conf" AddModule "ivona" "sd_ivona" "ivona.conf" AddModule "dummy" "sd_dummy" "" DefaultModule espeak Include "/etc/speech-dispatcher/clients/*.conf" Include "clients/*.conf" -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
