Re: [Espeak-general] Volume Shoots up to 100% on doing eSpeak_Configure

[Soumen b. <sou...@gm...>]

Hi,
Im sure the other applications are indeed using pulseaudio. As such, I
can see their names in the "applications" tab in "Sound Preferences"
in Gnome.
I can see that eSpeak comes up as an application in the above
mentioned place as well. The volume to eSpeak is set to full, while
the other apps like mplayer etc are set to less than half. As far as I
can see, since pulseaudio supports different volumes for different
applications, and since pulse has no idea of what volume we want, it
just defaults it to 100%. Since it isnt possible to have that high
volume at 40% of speaker output, it sets the speaker volumes to 100%
as well.
Perhaps I need to use pulse-audio development libraries to set the
volume for this app before pulse does it for me ;)
Do any of you have an idea of what exactly I need to do?

p.s. This is all conjecture based on what is happening at the
volumes.. If any of you have a better method of fixing this, please
let me know. I know this is beyond the purview of espeak but still, I
would appreciate some help :)
