[CBLX] speech-dispatcher+mbrola... besoin d'aide svp!

[Aldo <info@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bonjour à tous. 

....Rien n'est plus frustrant que de coincer alors qu'on arrive quasiment au
bout du parcours du combattant ! ! ! 
Peut-être que vous pouvez encore m'inspirer là où ça coince ?!

J'avance pas mal du tout sur mon projet d'avoir Mbrola pilotée par 
Speech-Dispatcher sous Orca;
pour autant, je n'obtiens de sortie vocale *que* en mode test{1} (sous la
console), pas encore sous Gnome-Orca itself... : pour parler en termes
culinaires, ma liaison avec Orca ne prend pas :-) 


Voici les étapes que j'ai suivies: 

* j'ai d'abord installé sur ma Debian les packages speech-dispatcher ainsi 
que python-speechd, ce dernier étant indispensable et pourtant pas installé
d'office...

* J'ai obté pour une conf perso (cad au niveau du user),
c'est permis et permet d'avoir par ex. une conf fr pour un user fr, it pour 
un user it, etc:

j'ai donc lancé  spd-conf  et ai ainsi obtenu un répo ~/.speech-dispatcher
contenant lui-même les sous-répos conf/, conf/modules/ et conf/clients/, 
dans lesquels j'ai modifié (comme indiqué dans un HowTo) qqs éléments:

- d'abord dans ~/.speech-dispatcher/conf/speechd.conf{2}:
  j'ai suivit la suggestion de mettre le param  AudioOutputMethod  sur
  alsa  uniquement, alors qu'il était sur  pulse,alsa  initialement;

  j'ai également décommenté la ligne  AddModule  pointant vers
  espeak-mbrola-generic ... 
  AddModule "espeak-mbrola-generic" "sd_generic" "espeak-mbrola-generic.conf" 
  ... afin de pouvoir sélectionner ce choix sous la conf
  (section vocale) d'Orca.

  	(NB: j'arrive à atteindre cette partie sans problème alors
  	qu'initialement j'avais un problème pour pouvoir choisir entre 
	eSpeak et Speech-Dispatcher; j'ignore si python-speechd y est pour 
	quelque chose, je le suppose...)

  Enfin, j'ai aussi ajouté la ligne:
  Include "clients/orca.conf" 
  à l'image d'un client emacs.conf déjà présent dans le même sous-répo. 

- Ensuite, dans ~/.speech-dispatcher/conf/modules/espeak-mbrola-generic.conf{3}:
  j'ai modifié la ligne de pilotage d'Mbrooa en suivant l'indication du
  HowTo; voici ce que cela donne:

#rm by user#GenericExecuteSynth \
#rm by user#"echo \'$DATA\' | espeak -v mb-$VOICE $PUNCT -s $RATE -a $VOLUME | mbrola -v $VOLUME -e /usr/share/mbrola/$VOICE/$VOICE - -.au | $PLAY_COMMAND
GenericExecuteSynth \
"echo \"$DATA\" | espeak -v $VOICE -s $RATE -a $VOLUME -p $PITCH $PUNCT --stdin | /usr/bin/mbrola /usr/share/mbrola/nl2/nl2 - - | aplay -r16000 -fS16"

- Enfin, dans ~/.speech-dispatcher/conf/clients/orca.conf{4}, toujours
  suivant les indications du HowTo, j'y ai mis ce qui suit:

# Local configuration for Orca
BeginClient "*:orca:*"
     DefaultLanguage "nl"
     DefaultCapLetRecognition "none"
EndClient


Voilà, tout y est, j'ai mis les fichiers, voir { }, en pj ! Peut-être que
qq'un de plus expérimenté peut me dire pourquoi quand je troque 
eSpeak pour Speech-Dispatcher Orca reste muette!

# Global configuration for Speech Dispatcher
# ==========================================

# -----SYSTEM OPTIONS-----

# CommunicationMethod specifies the method to be used by Speech Dispatcher to communicate with
# its clients. Two basic methods are "unix_socket" and "inet_socket".
#
# unix_socket -- communication over Unix sockets represented by a file in the
# filesystem (see SocketName bellow). This method works only locally, but is
# prefered for standard session setup, where every user runs his own instance of Speech
# Dispatcher to get voice feedback on his own computer.
#
# inet_socket -- alternatively, you can start Speech Dispatcher on
# a TCP port and connect to it via hostname/port. This allows for a more
# flexible setup, where you can use Speech Dispatcher over network
# from different machines. See also the Port and LocalhostAccessOnly
# configuration variables.
#
# CommunicationMethod "unix_socket"

# SocketName is either "default" or a full path to the filesystem
# where the driving Unix socket file should be created in case the
# CommunicationMethod is set to "unix_socket". The default is
# TMPDIR+speechd-sock-UID where TMPDIR is the default temp dir
# location on the system and UID the user id who starts Speech Dispatcher
# (e.g. /tmp/speechd-sock-1005 for a user # whose uid is 1005).
# Do not change this unless you have a reason and know what you are doing.

# SocketName "default"

# The Port on which Speech Dispatcher should be available to clients if the "inet_socket"
# communication method is used.

# Port 6560

# By default, if "inet_socket" communication method is used, the specified port is opened only
# for connections comming from localhost. If LocalhostAccessOnly is set to 0 it disables this
# access controll. It means that the port will be accessible from all computers on the
# network. If you turn off this option, please make sure you set up some system rules on what
# computers are and are not allowed to access the Speech Dispatcher port.

# LocalhostAccessOnly 1

# -----LOGGING CONFIGURATION-----

# The LogLevel is a number between 0 and 5 that specifies
# how much of the logging information should be printed
# out on the screen or in the logfile (see LogFile)
# 0 means nothing, 5 means everything (not recommended).

LogLevel  3

# The LogDir specifies where Speech Dispatcher writes its logging messages
# (status information, error messages, etc.).  Specify "stdout" for
# standard console output or a directory path. 'default' means that
# the logs are written to the default destination (e.g. a preconfigured
# system directory or the home directory if .speech-dispatcher is present)
# DO NOT COMMENT OUT THIS OPTION, SET IT TO "default" if you do not
# want to influence it.

LogDir  "default"
#LogDir  "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/"
#LogDir  "stdout"

# The CustomLogFile allows logging all messages of the given kind,
# regardless their priority, to the given destination.

#CustomLogFile "protocol" "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher-protocol.log"

# ----- VOICE PARAMETERS -----

# The DefaultRate controls how fast the synthesizer is going to speak.
# The value must be between -100 (slowest) and +100 (fastest), default
# is 0.

DefaultRate   -1

# The DefaultPitch controls the pitch of the synthesized voice.  The
# value must be between -100 (lowest) and +100 (highest), default is
# 0.

DefaultPitch   -2

# The DefaultVolume constrols the default volume of the voice.  It is
# a value between -100 (softly) and +100 (loudly).  Currently, +100
# maps to the default volume of the synthesizer.

DefaultVolume 100

# The DefaultVoiceType controls which voice type should be used by
# default.  Voice types are symbolic names which map to particular
# voices provided by the synthesizer according to the output module
# configuratuion.  Please see the synthesizer-specific configuration
# in etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/ to see which voices are assigned to
# different symbolic names.  The following symbolic names are
# currently supported: MALE1, MALE2, MALE3, FEMALE1, FEMALE2, FEMALE3,
# CHILD_MALE, CHILD_FEMALE

# DefaultVoiceType  "MALE1"

# The Default language with which to speak

DefaultLanguage   nl


# ----- MESSAGE DISPATCHING CONTROLL -----

# The DefaultClientName specifies the name of a client who didn't
# introduce himself at the beginning of an SSIP session.

# DefaultClientName  "unknown:unknown:unknown"

# The Default Priority. Use with caution, normally this shouldn't be
# changed globally (at this place)

# DefaultPriority  "text"

# The DefaultPauseContext specifies by how many index marks a speech
# cursor should return when resuming after a pause. This is roughly
# equivalent to the number of sentences before the place of the
# execution of pause that will be repeated.

# DefaultPauseContext 0

# -----SPELLING/PUNCTUATION/CAPITAL LETTERS  CONFIGURATION-----

# The DefaultPunctuationMode sets the way dots, comas, exclamation
# marks, question marks etc. are interpreted.  none: they are ignored
# some: some of them are sent to synthesis (see
# DefaultPunctuationSome) all: all punctuation marks are sent to
# synthesis

# DefaultPunctuationMode "none"

# The DefaultCapLetRecognition: if set to "spell", capital letters
# should be spelled (e.g. "capital b"), if set to "icon",
# capital letters are indicated by inserting a special sound
# before them but they should be read normally, it set to "none"
# capital letters are not recognized (by default)

# DefaultCapLetRecognition  "none"

# The DefaultSpelling: if set to On, all messages will be spelled
# unless set otherwise (this is usually not something you want to do.)

# DefaultSpelling  Off

# ----- AUDIO CONFIGURATION -----------

# -- AUDIO OUTPUT --

# Chooses between three possible sound output systems:
#       "oss"   - Open Sound System
#       "alsa"  - Advanced Linux Sound System
#       "nas"   - Network Audio System
#       "pulse" - PulseAudio
# ALSA is default and recommended. The recent implementations
# support mixing of multiple streams. OSS is only provided
# for compatibility with architectures that do not include ALSA.
# NAS is an audio server with higher level of control over
# your audio stream, with the possibility to stream your audio
# over the network to a different computer and other advanced
# features. (The NAS backend is not very well tested however.)
# PulseAudio is a sound server for POSIX and WIN32 systems. 
#

#AudioOutputMethod   pulse,alsa
AudioOutputMethod   alsa

# What ALSA device to use when Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is
# chosen for the audio output.

#AudioALSADevice "default"

# -- PulseAudio parameters --

#AudioPulseServer "default"

# Maximum length of the buffer

#AudioPulseMaxLength -1

# Target length of the buffer
# The server tries to assure that at least FestivalPulseTargetLength
# bytes are always available in the buffer

#AudioPulseTargetLength 4410

# Pre-buffering
# The server does not start with playback before at least 
# FestivalPulsePrebuffering bytes are available in the buffer

#AudioPulsePreBuffering -1

# Minimum request
# The server does not request less than FestivalPulseMinRequest bytes
# from the client, instead waits until the buffer is free enough to
# request more bytes at once

#AudioPulseMinRequest -1

# -- OSS parameters --

# What OSS device to use when Open Sound System is
# chosen for the audio output.

#AudioOSSDevice "/dev/dsp"

# -- NAS parameters --

# Route to the Network Audio System server when NAS
# was chosen for the audio output. Note that NAS
# server doesn't need to run on your machine,
# you can use it also over network (for instance
# when working on remote machines).

#AudioNASServer "tcp/localhost:5450"



# -----OUTPUT MODULES CONFIGURATION-----

# Each AddModule line loads an output module.
#  Syntax: AddModule "name" "binary" "configuration" "logfile"
#  - name is the name under which you can acces this module
#  - binary is the path to the binary executable of this module,
#    either relative (to lib/speech-dispatcher-modules/) or absolute
#  - configuration is the path to the config file of this module,
#    either relative (to etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/) or absolute

AddModule "espeak"       "sd_espeak"   "espeak.conf"
AddModule "festival"     "sd_festival"  "festival.conf"
AddModule "flite"        "sd_flite"     "flite.conf"

AddModule "espeak-mbrola-generic" "sd_generic" "espeak-mbrola-generic.conf"
#AddModule "swift-generic" "sd_generic" "swift-generic.conf"
#AddModule "epos-generic" "sd_generic"   "epos-generic.conf"
#AddModule "dtk-generic"  "sd_generic"   "dtk-generic.conf"
#AddModule "ibmtts"       "sd_ibmtts"    "ibmtts.conf"
#AddModule "cicero"        "sd_cicero"     "cicero.conf"

# DO NOT REMOVE the following line unless you have
# a specific reason -- this is the fallback output module
# that is only used when no other modules are in use
AddModule "dummy"         "sd_dummy"      ""

# The output module testing doesn't actually connect to anything. It
# outputs the requested commands to standard output and reads
# responses from stdandard input. This way, Speech Dispatcher's
# communication with output modules can be tested easily.

# AddModule "testing"

# The DefaultModule selects which output module is the default.  You
# must use one of the names of the modules loaded with AddModule.

DefaultModule   espeak

# The LanguageDefaultModule selects which output modules are prefered
# for specified languages.

#LanguageDefaultModule "en"  "espeak"
#LanguageDefaultModule "cs"  "festival"
#LanguageDefaultModule "es"  "festival"

# -----CLIENT SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION-----

# Here you can include the files with client-specific configuration
# for different types of clients. They must contain one or more sections with
# this structure:
#     BeginClient "emacs:*"
#          DefaultPunctuationMode "some"
#          ...and/or some other settings
#     EndClient
# The parameter of BeginClient tells Speech Dispatcher to which clients
# it should apply this settings (it does glob-style matching, you can use
# * to match any number of characters and ? to match one character)

# There are some sample client settings

Include "/etc/speech-dispatcher/clients/*.conf"
Include "clients/*.conf"
Include "clients/orca.conf"

# This line below is to enable autospawning, without breaking everything else read by dotconf.
# AutoSpawn

# Espeak mbrola output module is based on the generic plugin for Speech
# Dispatcher. It means there is no code written explicitly for
# this plugin, all the specifics are handled in this configuration
# and we call a simple command line client to perform the actual
# synthesis. Use this config file with the sd_generic output module.
#
# IMPORTANT: The audio output method relies on an audio playback
# utility (play, aplay, paplay for OSS, ALSA or Pulse)
# being installed. If this is not the case, consider installing it
# or replace the $PLAY_COMMAND string in the GenericExecuteString below
# with play, paplay or similar.
#
# GenericExecuteSynth is the shell command that should be
# executed in order to say some message. This command must
# stop saying the message on SIGKILL, otherwise it's useless.
# You can use the variables $LANGUAGE, $VOICE, $PITCH and $RATE
# which will be substituted for the appropriate value (you
# can modify this value, see other parameters).
# The command can be split into more lines, if necessary, using '\'.

# These parameters set _rate_, _pitch_, and _volume_ conversion. This is
# part of the core of the definition of this generic output
# module for this concrete synthesizer, it's not intended to
# be modified by common users.
# The resulting rate (or pitch) has the form:
#       (speechd_rate * GenericRateMultiply) + GenericRateAdd
# while speechd_rate is a value between -100 (lowest) and +100 (highest)
# You have to define some meaningful conversion for each synthesizer

# Here's the mapping from SSIP (Speech Dispatcher) to ESpeak (v1.10):
#
#           SSIP Range  SSIP Default    ESpeak/MBROLA Range ESpeak Default
#           ----------- ------------    ------------         --------------
# Rate      -100 to 100     0           80 to 320       160
# Pitch     -100 to 100     0            0 to 99         50
# Volume    -100 to 100     0            0 to 2          --
#
# The SSIP defaults are actually controlled via DefaultRate, DefaultPitch, and
# DefaultVolume in the speechd.conf file.

GenericRateAdd          160
GenericPitchAdd         50
GenericVolumeAdd        1

# (These values are multiplied by 100, because DotConf currently
# doesn't support floats. So you can write 0.85 as 85 and so on.)

GenericRateMultiply     160
GenericPitchMultiply    50
GenericVolumeMultiply   1

# If the client program can't handle floats, you will have to
# use these two options to force integers as the parameters
# 1 means force integers, 0 means do nothing (write floats).
