Hello listers.
Is it possible to use Workbone with speakup? I can play 1 track at a
time, but the interactive interface seems to give fits because of the
number pad and Speakup's reliance on it.
Is there another utility out there that works better?
Thanks.

The numlock key says "numlock on" and "numlock off" but it does not change any of the functions of the keypad keys.

* Re: Workbone and Speakup ` Gregory Nowak ` Charles Hallenbeck @ ` Steve Holmes ` Gregory Nowak 1 sibling, 1 reply; 14+ messages in thread From: Steve Holmes @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup I configured, compiled, and installed it yesterday without any hitches so far. I know what you mean about some of those packages though. I recall a while back having to upgrade my readline library from gnu sources in order for libcdaudio to work in order for cdcd to work, if you know what I mean. And this is with a slackware 8.0 settup.
