Hello.

Iīm trying get espeak running on my N800.
I even did a reflash (RX-34_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin)
to be sure that there isnīt anything wrong with my running system.

The first thing I did, was installing espeak. Everything was fine and even the dependencies were installed (espeak-data + libportaudio2 + libespeak).
But the same happened as before:

no sound and this

wave_open_sound > Pa_OpenStream : err=-9996 (Invalid device).

What am I doing wrong? Is something missing?
Or doesnīt espeak really run on my N800?

I found something like this:

"The workaround is to use gstreamer:

espeak -v en --stdout "Hello world" |gst-launch -v fdsrc ! wavparse ! audioconvert!autoaudiosink

I think thatīs the next Iīm going to try out.

Flite works great, but to listen to flite trying to speak German (Navit) is quite funny.

Best regards

Markus
