Where should this file exist so systemd can find and enable it on an
archlinux system?
As things stand now, I'm using pipewire with wireplumber and although
spd-say speaks when run from command line it cannot speak its working
message inside spd-conf and paplay plays a sound outside spd-conf it also
fails to run properly inside spd-conf and produce a sound. I'm using
speechdispatcher-git from aur repository hoping to have better luck with
that than the version in extra repository. I have had espeak-ng running
on this system and got fenrir running.
Interesting thing is fenrir does not come up as a speech synthesizer
choice in spd-conf and neither does alsa or libao both of which are
installed among other audio systems and this user is in the audio group.
I figured speechdispatcher in some version could work on this system as
expected but that isn't the case for some reason or reasons.
The speechd.service I have is as follows and I don't know if it's correct
either.
