Re: console speech

hello,

My thoughts. Pulse Audio has more functionality then Alsa. Alsa is great 
for a low level system meaning only command line access. If you run a 
graphical environment you will not be able to get discovery of sound 
automatically unless of course you write some sort of scripts for Alsa.

I happen to think though that when Pulse Audio was beginning to be upon 
the Linux community most of us who used Espeakup relied on Alsa 
heaviely. Now its a bit of a problem for a user who wants the desktop 
experience.

Thats just what I see.
