ubuntu 11.10 speakup and orca don't work together

[Rob Whyte]

Hi Justin,
not sure what you are referring to as being broken.
The only problems I see on Vinux regarding to Audio are:
At times a live cd will boot with audio muted.
This also happens upon first time of installing.
Believed  to be the kernel state  and running with pulse system.

Some audio chipsets will crackle in the first 15 seconds of audio.

Guess the price we pay for having everything work out of the box.

Good luck
If you would like the pulse scripts I referred to in a previous  post I 
can provide.
