Hi I'm new to Linux and trying to use Fedora 10 pulseaudio to play flite sounds. When I execute this command to says hello, 

flite -t hello -o play

but I read that when some applications lock the sound card, then other applications will not work correctly. I verified this by playing some music and then trying to execute the above flite command, which threw error message.

To fix this I found an example that does this 

artsdsp flite -t hello -o play

Now artsdsp I believe was previous sound server for Fedora distributions, but now I have Fedora 10 so I tried

 pulseaudio flite -t hello -o play

but I'm getting "pulseaudio: invalid option 't'".
So my question is how do I run the artsdsp example using pulseaudio? Or whats an easy way to fix that sound card locking issue between applications? Thanks in advance.

Consider upgrading to a supported version. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Jun 28 '10 at 2:12
ok the corresponding command for pulseaudio is padsp. So if I type this it will play the sound "padsp ./flite -t hello -o play". – Marquinio Jun 28 '10 at 3:07
another options is to try to find instructions for installing osspd – Spudd86 Jun 28 '10 at 15:04
