Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alsa-lib-1.0.9rc2-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ibmtts (aka viavoice) 2. automake gnome-speech 3. run "test-speech" Actual Results: test-speech will chop off the end of spoken text. Festival will not work out of the box for a different reason, so ibmtts is used in this example. Expected Results: test-speech should complete its spoken text.

Integration of ALSA 1.0.9a/b in kernel depends on people from kernel-upstream, we only overtake official kernel with ALSA drivers. I think it won't take a long time. Alsa-utils 1.0.9a are comming.
See SNDCTL_DSP_GETOPTR in ALSA's change log.
I filed a kernel bug to pickup ALSA 1.0.9a. Sorry about the superfluous comment #2 above. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4761
No problem, closing as upstream.
According to kernel bug 4761 mentioned above, it has been integrated into kernel 2.6.13-rc4. When can ALSA on Fedora be uplifted to 1.0.9a or better?
