Package: speech-dispatcher Version: 0.7-6.1 Severity: important I tried the sample code given for the Python speech API which is
import speechd client = speechd.SSIPClient('test') client.set_output_module('festival') client.set_language('en') client.set_punctuation(speechd.PunctuationMode.SOME) client.speak("Hello World!") client.close() 1) After running the script there was a pause and "Hello World" was spoken. 2) I then stopped the script and ran it again and the script immediately stopped with no errors and no speech! 3) Sound continued to work for the rest of the system. It was only until I rebooted that speech would work - but only once as before. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (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 1.15.8.11 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-6 Manage installed documentation in 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 2.11.2-10 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+squeeze1 PulseAudio client libraries ii libspeechd2 0.7-6.1 Speech Dispatcher: Shared librarie ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages speech-dispatcher recommends: ii pulseaudio 0.9.21-3+squeeze1 PulseAudio sound server Versions of packages speech-dispatcher suggests: pn speech-dispatcher-doc-cs <none> (no description available) pn speech-dispatcher-festival <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
