Speakup on the raspberry pi?

[Glenn]

What are you housing your Raspberry Pi in?
I bought a case for mine for a few bucks, but it is round, shaped like a 
large smoke detector, and all I can think that I can do with the plugs is to 
plug them in and run them through the hole in the middle of this smoke 
detector.
I wonder if it would fit into a plastic cassette case?
An Altoids box would work if the tin did not have rounded corners.

Hi Kelly and others on this list,

I really, really hope this isn't too soon to re-post about this topic... I'm
just wondering if any progress has been made by anyone on making the Pi 
talk.
I've done a few experiments as per trying to reduce the pops made by the 
audio
device.

Also, why is this list so low traffic? It saddens me deeply! Has it moved to
another server?

Anyway. iIinstalled pulseaudio on the pi, thinking it would stop the 
crackles.
It really didn't because pulse goes through Alsa.
What's even weirder is that speech-dispacher can't seem to be able to speak
through  spd-say, but espeak talks just through the espeak command. I don't 
know
why this is, but I suspect it's a hardware thing. I've reconfigured speech
dispatcher, without much luck. I even got orca to run in the standard 
desktop,
but all I hear is a loud pop when it starts (alt+F2 still works to open a 
run
dialog in the desktop environment, so after apt-get gnome-orca one can 
blindly
run it). I suspect that this is because orca obviously passes stuff to 
speech
dispacher, which can't talk.

All the best,
Tomi
