If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update espeak'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-7205 espeak-1.40.02-2.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update espeak'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-7250 While native PulseAudio support is clearly the best solution, I don't understand why PortAudio is not working for you. I did the PortAudio patch to support PulseAudio's ALSA plugin and espeak was one of the 2 main apps I used for testing (the other one was Audacity with its builtin fork of PortAudio), it always worked fine for me. (In reply to comment #5) Thanks, Kevin - PortAudio also works fine for me. However, another espeak bug with similar symptoms has since appeared (#506624), and the reporter confirms that converting to native PulseAudio solved it. espeak-1.40.02-2.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. espeak-1.40.02-2.fc10 causes stardict to hung. Fall back to espeak-1.39-1.fc10.i386 resolves this issue. espeak command espeak "Hello" does not produce any sounds and espeak itself does not finish. Ctrl-D does not work either, only ctrl-C. OS -- Fedora 10 without pulseaudio (actually, only pulseaudio-libs-0.9.14-3.fc10.i386 presents) (In reply to comment #9) Thanks for the report - I'll have to install F10 on a local machine and strip out pulseaudio in order to debug this, so it might take a little while. Would you mind opening a new bug report for this, since it's a newly-introduced issue caused by solving the original bug? (and so that I don't forget about it ;) Re comment #9, I'm afraid it's just working as designed: as espeak is built to use PulseAudio directly, it simply cannot work without PulseAudio anymore. Upstream needs to support building with both PulseAudio and PortAudio and fallback to PortAudio if PulseAudio is not detected if they want this to work. Otherwise, PulseAudio is simply required from now on. There's nothing the packager can do about this. |
