I guess it's a leftover back from the days when sox didn't exist (emacspeak dates from the early 90s) and I guess this sort of flexability never hearts. > Sox is a dependency, and it's available in any unix-like system. > Why not use "play" as the default audio player? This is actually a good point, something I haven't gotten bitten by yet because I've set emacspeak-auditory-icon-function to emacspeak-play-auditory-icon, which uses play as expected. Another thing that I keep forgetting to report and that might be an issue for your case: the path to play is hard coded in tts-lib.tcl (for the various beeps) as /usr/bin/play, which could instead be, say, /usr/local/bin/play. If the path is wrong it will work just won't play the beeps, which is why I guess it didn't get reported yet. Thank you for helping the project out like this. -- Kind Regards, Aleksandar
