OK sorry for brainfarting so much but I'm just jotting down notes on the differences between the speech-dispatcher in Squeeze and the speech-dispatcher in experimental. I figured out who spd-say didn't work with my experimental setup. spd-say doesn't set a volume, so it used the default. My defau

2010-12-10 Thread Nerius Landys
OK I figured out that Mumble was perhaps overriding the volume settings. There's a slider in Mumble that lets me adjust the test-to-speech audio volume. So that is no longer an issue. Still, I miss having the ability to type "spd-say" and having it work. It seems that a special speech-dispatche

2010-11-21 Thread Nerius Landys
Thanks for looking into bug 603897. Will the fix be rolled into Squeeze release (final) or should I take the time to roll my own package? If the fix won't be in Squeeze, I'll roll my own now, otherwise I will wait.

I too have been getting this issue for a long time now, and I really think it ought to be fixed in Lenny (I'm using Lenny on several computers). When I ssh to other machines and open emacs in terminal mode there, the issue is present. See here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=50272
