[Emacspeak] Re: TTS Problems with Pipewire and Fedora 37

Lua is a nice language -- you'll enjoy it.

The lagginess may have been due to the virtualenv.

Test with outloud not espeak to avoid portaudio issues and
complications.

Dont write any lua scripts yet -- get the basic TTS server working in
a  default setup; that's how I migrated to pulseaudio six months ago.
