Hi all,
I use speech output for reading the screen. Currently, I'm using
espeak compiled to use portaudio. Whenever I switch consoles, I have to
wait a few seconds for audio output to resume. I understand that
ConsoleKit is responsible for the delay while it figures out if I'm the
same user and should be allowed to use the audio device.
If anyone knows how to disable this behavior, or knows fore sure that
ConsoleKit can't be configured to accomplish this, I'd really like to hear
about it. With respect, what I don't need to hear about is how desirable
folks think the current behavior is and how I should learn to love it too.
Pulseaudio won't help either, until it can be made to run
system-wide.
TIA.
