Automatic synthesizer detection

[Shane Wegner]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the new sarge installer beta3 working
with SpeakUp and most comments had to do with the
synthesizer used.  It seems the best selection would be for
a synthesizer probe at bootup where speakup would scan
through the list of its compiled in synthesizers, run the
probe routines and see which is connected, using the first
it finds.

Are there any synthesizers in Speakup which cannot
reliably be probed?  IE. a synth on a parallel or serial
port which cannot reply to a status request.  Also, I
suppose the order of probing would be relevant as a
transport would probably reply to an sa's status request in
emulation mode so you couldn't do the sa probe first.  Has
any work previously been done on this?
