speakup in ubuntu 10.04

[Alonzo cuellar]

Hello list,

I'm unable to get speakup to work in Ubuntu 10.04. It works, but orca stops speaking. I'm not sure how to fix this. If gnome is not running speakup will work just find.
I've disabled puseaudio form starting in gnome, but its still installed. Please advise.

The solution is to run pulseaudio in system-wide mode, like we do in
Vinux, built on Ubuntu Lucid.  In short:

- Edit /etc/default/pulseaudio and set PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1.
- Edit /etc/pulse/client.conf, and set auto-spawn=no
- Edit /etc/pulse/system.pa, and set 'load-module
module-native-protocol-unix auth-anonymous=1'

The first item causes pulseaudio to start in system-wide mode on
startup.  The second keeps gdm from starting it's own copy.  The third
disables authentication, and allows all users to access the sound
card.

I've read that to get espeakup working well with pulseaudio, you need
to compile it with pulseaudio support enabled, which for some unknown
reason is not currently the default.  I'll probably be looking into
this in the next few weeks, since speechd-up has a problem where it
says Capital all the time, which drives people nuts, and we'll
probably ship Vinux 3.0 using espeakup.
