Pulse Audio

[Jason White]

Has anyone worked out a development plan to fix this all up, i.e., to make
Linux audio work seamlessly with Orca, Speakup, Emacspeak and whatever else is
desired?

Other operating systems have long since solved this, as I understand it, and
it's a real embarrassment to those in the Linux community that it's 2014 and
we're still having to discuss work-arounds for low-level audio issues.

Maybe someone should propose a sponsored coding project to fix the largest
issues.
