Actually, the issue is that speakup is not built into the kernel on |
| 16 |
distribution media, but it is a set of external modules, similar to how |
| 17 |
the alsa drivers were handled before they went mainline. This does not |
| 18 |
have anything to do with the functionality of speakup itself, it is |
| 19 |
just easier for distros to support building it that way. It makes it |
| 20 |
much easier for us to keep speakup current. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Once speakup does get into the main kernel tree, we will look into |
| 23 |
building it into the kernel instead of using modules. Once that |
| 24 |
happens, speech will start much earlier in the boot sequence than it |
| 25 |
does now. |
