tuxtalk

[Steve Holmes]

I'm having all kinds of problems here trying to get tuxtalk to work -
especially with Speakup.  I did actually get the say command to speak
something by piping text into it via a pipe or <file.txt.  But it
hangs and I have to do a ctrl-C to exit the program every time.  When
I tried following some suggested steps recently, I got "daemon mode:
no such device" whenever I did a 'say -d'.

Now here is something really wierd.  When I do a 'modprobe
speakup_sftsyn', I my speakout synth comes up talking and the lsmod
listing shows the following.
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
speakup_spkout          1928   0 (autoclean) (unused)
speakup_sftsyn          2352   0 (autoclean) [speakup_spkout]
speakupmain            42516   0 [speakup_spkout speakup_sftsyn]
nfsd                   65808   8
lockd                  46448   1 [nfsd]
sunrpc                 64476   1 [nfsd lockd]
............. rest removed.

The softsynth device was defined as softsynth c 10 26 per previous
instruction but I get no speech from tuxtalk but my speakout is going
along just fine but I had specified sftsyn <strange>.  I did a diff
compare on both the sources and compiled objects for the two synth
drivers in question and there are differences between sources as well
as objects so I figure the modules aren't duplicated or any of that.
The lsmod listing shows the wierd thing though.

Anyone figure this one out?:)
