Here is an extract from the README file in kttsd's working directory. Audio Plugins ------------- KTTS can be built with the following audio plugins. The "Default Configure "Option" column shows the default option for the configure command. The "Alternate" column gives the opposite configure option: System Plugin Default Configure Option Alternate ------ ------------ ------------------------- ------------------------ aRts artsplayer --with-arts --without-arts ALSA alsaplayer --with-alsa=check --with-alsa=no GStreamer gstplayer --with-gstreamer=no --with-gstreamer=check aKode akodeplayer --with-akode=no --with-akode=check You *must* have at least one of these plugins for KTTS to work. The aKode and GStreamer players are not built by default because they have issues with instant stopping and starting. *********************************************** So, the kttsd player can have media-sound/alsaplayer and akode as optional dependencies. i have been using it with alsaplayer and there are no problems for me. It would be great if the ebuild is corrected Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Changed kttsd-3.5.2 accordingly without version bump.
