running linux on laptops

[T. V. Raman]

If you're looking to port eflite to use alsa, you may want to
look at the sources for atcleci.cpp 
in emacspeak/servers/linux-outloud -- this is the ALSA version of
the Emacspeak ViaVoice TTS Server.

The alsa-lib API is not the easiest thing to figure out, so the
above may well  save you some time.
