eSpeakCaller like app / voice caller id

I am playing with eSpeak (from RzR's repo) and I can't see any reason why there is no eSpeakCaller like application for N9. It should be very easy. I have mixed some sources and finish with this python script:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python



import gobject

import subprocess

import re

import dbus

import dbus.mainloop.glib



def handle_call(x, y):

    # remove non alphanum chars

    n = re.sub('[^\w ]', '', x[0]['displayName'])

    print n

    # check if we have a number or alphanum string

    if re.match('[+0-9]+', n) == None:

        # say it

        eSpeakProc = subprocess.Popen(["espeak", "-vpl", '"' + n + '"'], shell=False)



if __name__ == '__main__':

    dbus.mainloop.glib.DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)



    bus = dbus.SessionBus()



    bus.add_signal_receiver(handle_call, path='/com/nokia/CallUi/ActiveCall', dbus_interface='org.maemo.contextkit.Property', signal_name='ValueChanged')    



    loop = gobject.MainLoop()

    loop.run()

when I ran it, it reads caller name but was interrupted by ringtone, so after some reading I created a file

Code:

/usr/share/policy/etc/pulse/xpolicy.conf.d/espeak.conf

with

Code:

[stream]

exe = espeak

group = ringtone

and restarted pulseaudio.

Now it works. If there are no unexpected traps I will try to modify espeakcaller (it's GPL) for N9 and package it to deb file as soon as I get some free time.

PS. Is there any event when user mutes ring (by clicking or turning over the phone) which I can listen to to mute espeak also?
