Hey, there is an error in your message below.  The
default-sample-method is being flagged as an invalid option in
pulseaudio when I attempt to start pulseaudio.  Actually, this option
never existed in the daemon.conf file to begin with.  I thought I
would add it to the file but no joy.  The only sample-method anything
in the file was a resample-method so I thought I would try that one
and just add the suggested value from your message here and I didn't
get any errors but the sound from speech dispatcher is still horribly
distorted.  Frankly, it is unusable in this condition.  I did change
the default-fragments to 5 and uncommented but at this point, I can't
get speech-dispatcher to sound any better than this; it's really
terrible.  Now when I use mplayer from a console to play music, that
seems to sound OK.  So I don't know what speechd's problem is.  I got
the distortion when I tried both the espeak and the swift-generic
modules.  If I run swift outside of speech-dispatcher, it sounds
great.  So it makes me wonder if speech dispatcher is fucking up some
place.
