speech-dispatcher and piper

[Hudson Kendall]

Hello,

I'm working on using speech-dispatcher with piper, and it's basically working now, but there are some configuration options I don't understand.

Mainly, I'd like to disable the tendency for speech-dispatcher to feed the text one sentence at a time to piper. piper is already very good at synthesizing one sentence ahead while it speaks the last, and when speech-dispatcher stops and restarts piper for every sentence, it causes long gaps in playback between sentences.

I tried modifying the ModuleDelimeters and ModuleMaxChunkLength options, but they seemed to have no effect.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
