Orca under Fedora 12?

[Willie Walker]

Hi Tobias:

It should work, but there might be some integration issues with Fedora 
and GNOME.  The biggest wrinkle we've come across lately on all distros 
is the interaction between PulseAudio and speech engines.  The two 
don't play well together at all. :-( Luckily, I believe the PulseAudio 
creator works at RedHat now, so maybe he can help resolve some of these 
issues.
