eflite_alsa emacspeak: overlap in reading.

[Pawel <user450@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hallo group members.

I am using eflite_alsa from http://homepage.hispeed.ch/loehrer/flite_alsa.html as a speech server. The problem I experience is slight overlapping of reading text when I move the cursor from line to line (or from sentence to sentence, etc..) and previous line is just being read. I can hear the following effect: emacspeak starts reading new line (or sentence) and interrupts reading of previous just after (say 1/10 sec) it started reading the next one. This slight overlapping makes that I cannot hear clearly first word of new line. Below there is a piece of "ps xawwwwuf" command result. I wonder why there are so many eflite_alsa processes. I noticed that every every invocation of "ps xawwwwuf" shows another PIDS of 2 most bottom eflite_alsa processes.

I am running fc.5. I do not have ~/.asoundrc file.

result of ps xawwwwuf:

Do You have any idea on what might be the solution?
