Re: Potential conflict between emacspeak with hardware synth and Orca

["David E. Price" <deprice@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion of a work around. I have been trying to run both 
in an X session. However, the piece of information that I forgot to provide 
is that I can run both emacspeak and Orca together under X if both are using 
a software synthesizer--this is working on a different machine.  On the 
machine where the conflict is occurring, I have not compiled any software 
synthesizers, since I have the DECTalk Express attached. I admit that I 
don't know the code of either program.  However, as I see it, if Orca wants 
to keep on talking after emacs has focus, that should continue unimpaired 
through the software synthesizer while emacspeak sends its output to the 
DECTalk Express. Therefore, I don't see how the two programs would get into 
contention over resources and cause the freeze.  Are there other resources 
that both programs might be trying to use that could lead to contention? Or, 
are there other things that you can think of that would cause the freeze?

Thanks,

dave
