Playing daisy in Linux?

[Jos Lemmens]

Hello Hart,

This is a daisy version 3 book.  There are no .mp3 files, so no sound.
There is only text in the .xml files. daisy-player cannot handle this book.

I'm busy with another project: eBook-speaker. This will play e-Books
using a synthetic voice. But it is still under construction.

   Regards,                                                

      Jos.
