Hello list,

I am a blind linux user using the orca screen reader. In the recent
release of ubuntu and the current  betta of fedora along with many other
distro's are not implamenting pulse audio correctly. In order for the
orca screent reader to work properly I have to remove pulse audio. I can
do this because my wife can help with this process but other blind users
do not have this option of sighted help. I would like to be able to use
pulse audio and not remove it so I am writing to see if someone could
please write some documentation on how to properly configure pulse audio
to work with the orca screen reader. I would greatly appreciate this and
I am sure the other blind linux users would also. Oh just so you know
what the problems are with orca and pulse on ubuntu when you first start
orca it talks so fast by default you can not even understand it. But
when you remove pulse orca speaks fine and it is understandable. in
other distro's when you start orca it will not have any sound at all.
But if you remove pulse audio then you can hear the sound of orca.
Thankyou for your help and time.Jonathan
