Speech dispatcher tying up /dev/dsp

[James Simmons]

Halim,

I think I've figured out the problem, and it is with mplayer, not with 
speech-dispatcher.? When I configure mplayer to use as=alsa per your 
suggestion, it fails even with speech-dispatcher killed.? When I change it to 
specify ao=oss it works OK with speech-dispatcher killed.? So I guess I have to 
recompile mplayer to get it to support ALSA, and then maybe I can use it while 
speech-dispatcher is running.

Thanks for your suggestions.

James Simmons

Hi,
I think it is a config problem here.
Are you sure that speechd is using speechd?

run the command
lsof |grep -i "/dev/dsp"

Post the output!
HTH.
