speech-dispatcher 0.6.7 on ubuntu intrepid

[Guy Schlosser]

Hi all, I have a question concerning speech-dispatcher on Ubuntu 
Intrepid.  I built it from source, by first doing apt-get build-dep 
speech-dispatcher.  During my .configure process, I got an error that 
said libdumbtts not found.  While it still built and compiled 
successfully, does anyone know where I can get that library?  Secondly, 
I am still having a lot of drop-outs, where I have to kill speechd and 
reload it for Orca to continue speaking.  In speechd.log, the error 
always is that there is a broken pipe to module and that it crashed.  
This happens whether I use ttsynth or espeak.  I am using the latest 
kernel (2.6.27-7), and the latest pulseaudio 0.9.10 packages as of last 
night's update.  Is there a known work-around or fix?  Any ideas or 
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much in advance,


Guy
