Of course. If I were reporting a bug, I would report all of these things, and more. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to accumulate information appropriate to a bug report, so I haven't reported this yet. So I was simply providing my point of vie that having a choice between the OSS driver and the current VoxWare driver was not necessarily a bad thing. I will be reporting a bug when I have more information. Unfortunately, the code that casuses it to manifest is in Modula-3, and I'm currently only 98% convinced that it is a driver bug and not in my own code...
