It seems that RHVoice addon caches generated files somewhere on file system:
Using HA Media Viewer's TTS feature:
generate some phrase (phrase1) with anna - hear anna's voice
switch voice to mikhail, reboot HA
genereate another (phrase2) - hear mikhail's voice
generate phrase1 again - hear anna, not mikhail(!)
And it seems impossible to hear phrase1 with mikhail voice anymore as it sounds with anna forever (until I add an extra space, for example). It obviously indicates caching.
Two issues with that:
unable to regenerate same phrase with different voice
usage of filesystem (I have HAOS on SD card)
One more thought - can it be made not to use real file system for mp3 generation at all? Can it use /tmp/cache or /dev/shm or whatever else on tmpfs instead? SD card life is a concern.
