[Bug 778619] Re: Festival TTS starts 'paused' for blocks of text

[Peter Drysdale]

Dear Ubuntu-reviewers team,

Please note the patch referred to earlier in this bug has made it into Deban
unstable (sid)
and testing (wheezy) as part of the lastest alsa-utils . If you are cherry
picking into Ubuntu
I recommend you use the form applied there. My presentation of the patch was
before
it entered into Debian while we were still investigating. This bug is now
closed in Debian in both alsa-utils and festival packages after the release
of the latest alsa-utils.
Please see the changelog of alsa-utils in testing or sid for details.

Please contact me if you have any questions,
best regards,
Peter
(Uploader for Debian festival package).
