For some reason, Espeak will many times produce a whole host of strange-looking alsa errors, but it still talks. This especially causes problems in Debian Wheezy if you have installed a desktop environment, as Espeak speaks all the errors that are printed to the console as GDM begins running, so the user is forced to go into a text console to stop it prior to logging into GDM. However, on a Talking Arch system, the errors can generally be safely ignored, as long as Espeak is in fact talking. Most of the time, the espeakup system service will log the harmless errors rather than printing all that chatter to the console. If the harmless errors I refer to are in fact not harmless, e.g. Espeak simply doesn't talk, please write back, and I will dig a bit deeper into the problem if I can. Hope this helps. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ... She calls her cake, Kyle?" Out of This World, season 2 episode 21 - "The Amazing Evie"
