support for pipewire?

[juhp]

Does anyone have emacspeak working under Linux pipewire audio?

Fedora 34 uses pipewire instead of pulseaudio to manage sound and I haven't been able to get emacspeak audio working with it yet.

Emacspeak does not use pulseaudio -- the outloud server uses alsa calls, and espeak at some level uses portaudio.

So the problem with pipewire is likely elsewhere

Okay then I need to look into portaudio perhaps: the thing is espeak from the commandline works, but there is no interactive output coming from emacspeak in this case.

You need to build and debug the emacspeak speech server from the shell.

For anyone who has a system with pipewire, please check if:

1. Your distribution provides a pipewire-alsa package (my own setup --- Debian --- does not). 2. If you have pipewire-alsa available (arch linux has it) then install pipewire-alsa and see if the emacspeak speech servers work.

   3. Separately, you might be get the TTS servers working with pipewire if you remove your .asoundrc --- assuming you have one set up.

Thank you - going to test this later. Fedora seems to install pipewire-alsa by default AFAICT

thanks -- let folks know via the emacspeak list as to what you discover.

If pipewire-alsa does fix it, we might need to file a bug upstream against distros like Debian and Fedora that presently dont include pipewire-alsa
