Speech Dispatcher still used even if specifying Spiel in command line using Debian and Flatpak
Orca Version
Main, on Debian Bookworm.
Steps to Reproduce the Problem
- Setup meson to enable spiel:
meson setup --force-fallback-for=spiel -Dspiel=true _build
- Compile:
meson compile -C _build
- Install:
meson install -C _build
- Also install Piper using Flatpak:
flatpak install https://eeejay.github.io/spiel-demos/piper.flatpakref
- Restart Orca with Spiel:
orca --replace --speech-system=spiel
Expected Behavior
Orca should speak using Piper.
Actual Behavior
Orca starts, with Speech Dispatcher. I use French as my primary language. Maybe it is the cause of this error, which I don't think because even if I also install the eSpeak provider Orca still use Speech Dispatcher when restarting. If I make a debug.out, the only error I have is:
16:10:35.469268 - ERROR: Spiel is not available
Which unfortunately does not provide enough detail.
