I installed the latest release of ubuntu this weekend, excited to see all of the latest changes. The system again is more polished and they are finally getting their act together with pulseudio.
For the vary majority of user pulseaudio when working is an improvement. Not for text to speech users. When using small clips of audio in quick succession, delays however small are very noticeable. Guess what pulseaudio as another layer in the aduio subsystem adds a delay. Now when using speech in Karmic there is a noticeable delay when using espeak for text to speech.
Open-sapi now has a chanced to step up to the mark. A karmic wine version is still missing as an essential component of the open-sapi install system but this will come wth time. This gives me an opportunity to iron out a few bugs and package it for release.
