Hi,
as you may have noticed, i integrated your rsynth program (v 0.9) into
the World Wide Web, as it seems the best publicly available TTS
translator for a unix environment.
While doing so, i noticed that if rsynth is installed _without_ a
dictionary file, then it can get into an endless loop when it is trying
to spell something.
To integrate it, i made a few modifications, as i wanted rsynth
to write soundbytes to stdout, and diagnostics to stderr:
- i had to comment out some code that tries to get the device output
encoding configuration
- i added a `-' filename flag, to indicate stdout output of sound bytes,
- i made sure that all diagnostics go to stderr
- the code that writes the audio header now first writes an 'unknown size',
and then tries to overwrite it with the correct size, instead of
initially writing a size of zero bytes. to avoid 'corrup' audio headers.
Regards,
Axel.
