I am a little bit confused towards what your actual question is. You seem to have problems getting eflite to work with emacspeak. However, as far as I could see, you did not include anything which might help us with figuring out what your actual problem is. Could you at least try and give a concret problem description? What did you exactly do and what was the result? Maybe people can help you then. Of course, it would even be better if you could file a proper bug report against the package which does not work correctly for you, in this case most likely eflite.
Last time I verified it, after installing eflite and emacspeak, emacspeakconfig does offer eflite as a speech server, and if choosen, works correctly. Note that eflite is compile for OSS support, and would might need OSS emulation when using ALSA. I do not use ALSA yet, so I do not have any more details about this. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Janusz S.
