This is a continuation of the earlier thread about using ALSA for software TTS using DMix --- see ASoundrc And Emacspeak.
I've now updated the CVS version of ASoundRC
to
use the ASYM
plugin for the default ALSA device.
The ASYM
plugin allows you to configure both the
playback and capture device, which removes the annoyance of
having to specify an ALSA device when calling
arecord
--- as used to be the case when using
DMIX
in the pcm.default
device.
Possible Caveats:
I am having trouble getting speakfreely
to work
reliably --- I've used it with ALSA in the past --- though I'm
not sure if the ASYM
plugin is the culprit.
