speech-dispatcher + DECtalk on Debian AMD x86-64 : no sound

[Nath]

Hi all,

I try to have speech-dispatcher working on my debian box (testing
release on AMD 64 bit architecture) with DECtalk software but have no
luck. all seems to be installed well, speech-dispatcher is started and
the additional module sd_generic is loaded. I installed
speech-dispatcher using Debian packages. so the speech-dispatcher
version installed is 0.5-3. I also installed libspeechd1.
I tried with DECtalk 4.61 and 5.0 but no sound at all.
To test, I try to use spd-say and run the following commandline :
spd-say -o dtk-generic "hello" or spd-say "hello" 
No error are returned.
The file /tmp/dtk-speak.txt seems to be correct :
--------------
[:np][:ra 338][:dv ap 225]
hello
------------------------
But something seems to be wrong in the speech-dispatcher.log file :
--------------------
[Mon Nov  7 22:11:55 2005 : 91524] speechd:   Warning: Didn't find prefered 
output module, using default
[Mon Nov  7 22:11:55 2005 : 91549] speechd:  Error: Can't find default output

(pid:1)
[Mon Nov  7 22:11:55 2005 : 91575] speechd:  Output module terminated 
abnormally, probably crashed.
[Mon Nov  7 22:11:55 2005 : 91623] speechd:   Connection closed
-------------------------
In speechd.conf I commented all the AddModule lines except for the
dtk-generic one.

a precision : since It doesn't exist a 64 bit DECtalk software version I
use the say command from the 32 bits version and the command works
itselve on the commandline since I have installed the ia32-libs package
on my system. 

do you have an idea of what can cause the problem ?

thx in advance for your help !
