Making voxin use alsa?

[jose vilmar estacio de souza]

Hi,
Yes, I had exactly the same problem and I solved it.
I had to install extra libraries but I dont't remember exactly which.
Please try the following command:
aoss /usr/bin/viavoice-synthesis-driver
You'll receive a message complaint about a library that can not be loaded.
Send me that message and I think that I can help.

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. :)
