Okay. so that would work via debian.

I had trouble ripping the jack libs out of debian.

Probably a native build of that app (without jack and pulseaudio) would go a long to way to bridging the gap you described in the top post.

It exports the phoneme's to STDOUT as I have pictured via the -x option and --phonout="<filename>"



And the realtime speech synth would doubtless meet the needs of the casual "make it do something cool!" user also.

That's my thoughts.

I got it to work.
