OT: GAIM with Orca

[guy schlosser]

Hey all, sorry for the off-topic nature of this post, but I'm having 
a problem I'd like to bounce off someone and see what could be 
causing it.  First off, good going Tomas, with the backend for Orca 
and Speech-dispatcher.  I installed it, and got Orca successfully 
working with Espeak.  Now for my question.  When I launched GAIM 
yesterday, I could not read the buddy list.  When I used the up and 
down arrows, I would here nothing.  I reran orca --setup, because I 
didn't here "switching to focus tracking mode" on bootup, but now 
Gaim won't stay open at all.  I get to the dialogue that says that I 
have mail, hit the close button, and go straight back to the 
desktop.  Also, how do I get sounds to play at the same time as 
Orca?  For example, MP3 files, etc.  Is there any plugins I need to 
install in Fedora 6 to get MP3 support?  As always, thanks in advance 
for the help.
