ESpeak and other sound with Ubuntu 7.04

[Gilles Casse]

Hi David,

Did you install the development version of portaudio 19.

Otherwise another alternative is to choose the speech-dispatcher backend
with the very recent eSpeak driver. I believe that the audio output is
based on aplay and so will work on your desktop. 

Just a note, installing a new release of eSpeak can be more direct, as
root under src, just type:
make install

Yes, if the espeak-data directory exists under your home directory, it
might be removed.

Best regards,

Gilles
