Do I have to use alsa sound drivers to use speakup with espeak?
I've installed alsa-utils and I've run alsaconf but there seems to be a
problem. I get error messages that it can't find device 0. I have this
really old laptop with a Sound Blaster 8 built in. I've loaded the correct
modues manually 'modprobe snd-sb8' but no matter what I do, I can't seem to
get sound at all via the alsa drivers.
The oss drivers work fine. But I can't get speech-dispatcher to work with
espeak. I saw that in the espeak config file, it calls aplay. And aplay
won't work possibly because I'm not using the alsa drivers. Am I on the
right track here?

Aplay is an alsa program, so it won't work with oss. You need to use
play instead, if you're using oss.

Just change aplay to play in your espeak-generic.conf and you should
have no further trouble as long as you have sox installed.

You could use something other than aplay?

Hi.
I am just thinking, which is better? OSS or ALSA?

Alsa if it works, because that is where future development is taking place
and it generally allows for better control over the sound cards.

No, dmix is neither a package, nor a binary, it's a part of the alsa
code. As of a certain version of alsa, I know alsa includes and uses
dmix by default. Before that version, I believe you had to apply dmix
as a patch to the alsa code. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the
version number was for this switch over. I do however recall Janina
posting that info a few times to this list, the last time being not too
long ago I believe, maybe even as part of this thread, or as a part
of the advantages of a hardware synth thread. Sorry I can't be more
helpful.

Is dmix a separate package or something? I don't have it here on my
Slackware box. Or at least I can't find a binary called dmix.
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question; I've heard of it before but
naver had any experience with it here. I use the Slackware package for
