Raman probably knows of a far more elegant solution. - Use C-e d . (dtk-notify-stop) to stop speech on the notify stream - You could set the virtual ALSA device used for notifications via tts-notification-device to a specific ALSA device and then either mute that device or set the volume much lower to make the overlap less disturbing I thought there was an option to enable the separate notification stream, but either I imagined it or it no longer exists, so I don't think there is a way to not have separate notification streams. You could try changing the calls to make-thread to funcall in emacspeak.el, which I think would then make things synchronous. The issue you will get then is that notifications will probably interrupt other speech, which can be just as annoying as multiple speakers talking at once. I use pulsaudio and the pavolcontrol program to set the notification stream to a much lower value, so notifications a much quieter and don't bother me should they occur at the same time as other 'main' speech is occurring. _______________________________________________ Emacspeak mailing list -- emacspeak(a)emacspeak.org To unsubscribe send an email to emacspeak-leave(a)emacspeak.org
