Steps to reproduce
Running Orca, generate events quickly so speech for them gets interrupted often.
Obtained behavior
Sometimes, I hear short "cracks" between speech requests.
Expected behavior
No cracks, smooth audio.
Behavior information
Not really sure, but I don't see overruns or underruns in system logs.
Happens with both espeak-ng and Baratinoo modules at least. Sound system is pulseaudio in both cases, but hardware is different, though both Intel HDA, s16le 2ch, 44100Hz.
Distribution & Speech-Dispatcher version
Debian, someone with spd 0.9.0 (Buster) reproduces it, and I can also get it (Bookworm, 0.11.4), though much less frequent I believe.
I would think the issue might be that interruption don't necessarily land on a buffer read boundary and that it could lead to the soundcard reading more than what was actually written, but that's potentially something that the sound system would be avoiding… I don't know.
