speakup on the Raspberry Pi

Thu Nov 1 17:03:47 EDT 2012

Kelly,
I'd like to have the modules and any directions you care to share.  I have
an early model PI.  Like much of New Jersey, right now, I have no power at
home so won't get too it soon and my FTP server is offline.  I just wanted
to let you know I'm interested.

Regards,
Jim

Peter, I now have speakup working on the raspberry Pi.
If anyone wants the modules speakup.ko and speakup_soft.ko I will post them
on my web server so anyone can download them.
They are for the 3.2.27+ kernel used currently on rasbian.
The only thing I would like to know is what did you do with alsactl to stop
or reduce the clicking?
I cannot seem to get it to stop.
Any information would be appreciated.
