Hi everyone,
today I'd like to describe a regression that was introduced in Swiftmac 3.x.
Problem: Audio playback via AVFoundation is broken. Only certain sounds of
Emacspeak play. Tone player is unaffected.
Solution: change the emacspeak-play-program variable from "nil" to
"sox-play". Keep in mind that the file "swiftmac-voices.el" is overiding that
variable on startup. My pitch is to remove this definition at all to make
behavior inline with other speech servers, allowing the user to customize the
behavior according to need.
