Just a FYI for anyone running pipewire as part of their sound
setup. Version 1.0.2 was just released and unfortunately, it has broken
Alsa support. This has already been reported to the pipewire devs and a
fix has already been released. However, it will take a few days before
distros (like Fedora) push out the fix.

Note that this doesn't affect apps using pulse audio, only those
directly using alsa. This means that while outloud and dtk-soft are not
working, espeak is. So if you get caught out, you can switch to espeak
as your speech server until the update is pushed to your distro.

The error you get for this issue when you try to run an also app is an
error about an unsupported operation. For example, when I try to run
./outloud I get

╰─➤  ./outloud
