This is not exactly an emacspeak problem although there might be an emacspeak solution so I hope it isn't too off topic. I'm writing an application (let's call it soundscape) for sonifying 2d graphics with the use of a touchpad or graphics tablet. This requires relatively low latency so the output responds to the position of your finger. Other requirements for me are that it runs under gnome, that it must not interfere with emacspeak (currently running the 32-outloud server) and it must run on a laptop (i.e one soundcard). Without emacspeak it works fine. With emacspeak running I can't tune the buffer sizes to get the latency down far enough. I don't know how much of this I can fix by having emacspeak and soundscape talk to different ALSA plugin devices given that they're talking to the same underlying hardware. The recent addition of the ALSA_DEFAULT environment variable for the outloud speech server makes this possible but my experiments so far haven't helped, probably a comment on my ignorance of the alsa architecture. My question to the alsa users list came up blank so I'm now hoping someone has had a similar enough problem with emacspeak to suggest a solution. thanks in advance for any help Peter -- Peter Rayner room 343 School of Earth Sciences, University of Melbourne, 3010, Vic, Australia tel: work: +61 (0)3 8344 9708; fax: +61 (0)3 8344 7761 mobile +61 402 752 379, skype: petermorag mail-to: prayner@xxxxxxxxxxx and CLIMMOD ENGINEERING http://www.climmod.com mail-to: Peter.Rayner@xxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the emacspeak list or change your address on the emacspeak list send mail to "emacspeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxx" with a subject of "unsubscribe" or "help".
