Making voxin use alsa?

[David Sexton]

Hi, I remember there is a way to make voxin use alsa with gnome speech

it's talking which means one is using oss or something
Oh, using ubuntu 9.04 and voxin 0.24 on 64bit machine

Speech-dispatcher, appart from that pain in the neck crasher which I still can't put a finger on, work quite well together, when the phases of the sun/moon/earth are aligned etc. :)
