FYI, I PMed the garage owner for flite/libflite and got a basic response that he was not working on it. In fact, he doesn't even own an N900, and compiled this originally for the N800 (where it works fine apparently as is). He threw it through the builder for the N900 and it compiled, but he had no way to test it, and no way to debug it. (Thus why it's still in devel vs testing or extras.) So it may be a while before it gets picked up and properly fixed to do audio output properly on the N900.

And before anyone get's upset about this, personally I think it's great that he even bothered to try to compile it for N900, since he doesn't even own one. At least we have a work-around solution for now, vs if he had not put in that effort, we would have nothing right now. So, don't direct anger at him for not working on it!

If someone is interested in doing this, please do hit the garage and ask to be added to the project. I'm sure he'd be happy to let someone update it to work properly for the N900.
