Hi All!

I know this is an old thread, but I'm unable to find any solution... Maybe someone is watching (:

So, my problem is: I use n900 with PR.1.3, power kernel v46. I installed espeak but it has no sound:
- when I type in terminal: espeak "hello", nothing happens.
- I installed espeakgui, has no sound either ("of course"), but it is able to export the text file to wav and play it via media player (or anything else) fine.

I typed in terminal: espeak "hello", echo $?. Result: 0. So technically it is working fine. So I typed: espeak "hello" --stdout | aplay; result: Playing WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono. After that I run espeakgui from terminal, and the result is: process 13135: arguments to dbus_bus_request_name() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_bus_name (name)" failed in file dbus-bus.c line 1070. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
When I type text in espeakgui and play it, termial result is: espeak -v en -a 100 -p 50 -s 170 -g 10 "hello" &

So it seems to work fine, but no sound because of some dbus issue. Could someone please help me to solve this? Any idea appreciated.

Thanks,

jm
