Re: Emacspeak with eSpeak losing speech on Vinux 4

["Tim Cross" <tcross@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem isn't adding an option, it is getting rid of one. 

I have emacspeak-play-args set to nil, but still get -N passed as an
argument. This is why I use the shell scirpt. using paplay, no
arguments are required. The shell script simply pulls out the second
argument (the name of the sound file) and passes it to paplay.

Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a
touch of genius (and a lot of courage) to move in the opposite direction.
