Good point which I haven't thought of. I haven't used talking arch. From what I understand though, it plays a file on all detected sound cards one by one asking the user to press enter to activate that particular sound card. Is that about right? Such a file could easily be generated with espeak, or even espeak itself could be used directly to keep the squashfs size to a minimum. We also need to keep in mind that these are images meant for everyone, including sighted users. I imagine they being the majority would find it annoying every time they were asked to press enter to activate a sound card, especially if they didn't understand the point. It would probably be much like the boot process stopping every time asking sighted users to select which video output they wanted to use. They would probably appreciate it, but the majority of us would probably find that annoying. KatolaZ has already made the first boot option with no framebuffer as the "accessible" option. Perhaps this sound card detection could run only if the system is booted using that particular choice, but not on any of the other choices? Maybe someone has an even better idea?
