Re: Emacspeak with eSpeak losing speech on Vinux 4

[John Joseph Morgan <johnjosephmorgan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I see this too with espeak. It seems to go away when I run emacspeak with espeak under the root user.
I have gnome started with orca at boot up. Is gnome and orca interfering somehow with a non-root user's use of espeak?
