Public bug reported:
If Orca is running using Fonix DECtalk, and aplay plays two sounds, speech
stops. Sometimes Orca terminates.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Orca from GNOME terminal
2. In a different terminal window execute aplay /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav
3. Repeat step 2
Actual results:
The first time, the sound is played; the second time it's played but Orca stops
speaking.
Expected results:
The sound would be played and Orca would continue to speak.
Does this happen every time?
Yes
Other information:
While I can reproduce this 100% of the time, it seems to be the result of a
very specific combination:
1. I can only reproduce it on my laptop which has the following:
Ubuntu 6.06, current (as of this moment) Orca from CVS
ATI Technologies Inc
IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller
I cannot reproduce this problem on either of my desktop computers (each of
which has a dedicated sound card rather than onboard sound)
2. It only occurs with Fonix DECtalk; not festival
Sometimes I get the following output from Orca:

Something looks wrong with speech. Aborting.

I had originally filed this at GNOME:

It was closed out as not GNOME.
