esddsp emulates oss support through esd... so what you're doing doesn't make sense... esddsp <some OSS app> # this runs sound through esd <some esd app> # this runs sound through esd esddsp <esd app> # this makes no sense Does that help? The festival ebuild doesn't natively support ESD, which breaks festival if you uncomment the line ';(Parameter.Set 'Audio_Method 'esdaudio)' in /etc/festival/server.scm. However, if you're going to use the festival daemon (/etc/init.d/festival) with esddsp, you will probably need to modify /etc/esound/esd.conf to include the option -promiscuous, otherwise the root user (festival daemon) will not be able to connect to the esd-socket if your user is using it. I've read somewhere that the sound quality will go down when using festival with esddsp, so it would be nice if the ebuild would support esound natively (by some use flag). Maybe festival2 will have better esd support... as for here, your best bet is to yse esddsp |
