FreedomBox ot?

[Matt Campbell]

Processor speed does matter, but I'd expect FreedomBox for Linux to work 
much better than this on a 500 MHz processor.  A few weeks ago I ran it 
on an old IBM Aptiva with a 266 MHz K6 processor and 64 MB of RAM, and 
it ran much better than what you describe.

Are any other sounds distorted, or is it just DECtalk?  For example, is 
the "welcome to the FreedomBox Network" sound distorted?

Also, it appears from a message you posted later that you're running a 
2.6 kernel.  I assume then that you're usind the snd-emu10k1 ALSA 
driver; is this correct?  Has anyone run FreedomBox under a 2.6 kernel 
with better results?  Finally, this shouldn't matter much, but what 
distribution are you running?
