What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.Start Gespeaker 2.List the voices in Base Settings or Preferences 3.mbrola-voices de1, de3, de8 are not shown, even though they are installed

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Id' like to see and be able to use all installed voices ;-), I see mbrola-de6-gr, though, which isn't available...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Gespeaker 0.8.1, Ubuntu 10.10, 32-bit

Please provide any additional information below. Looks like the list is hardcoded and not generated from the actually installed files. Perhaps that should be changed, offering a link to the mbrola download page instead (makes it easier if new voices are added to the mbrola project, too)

This is not a gespeaker issue, which is a mere espeak frontend, not for just mbrola.

Gespeaker will properly detect all available language files from espeak, they're not hardcoded at all.

The indicated voice files cannot be used because espeak won't provide a language (phonemes) for them. Give a look in /usr/share/espeak-data/voices/mb/ /usr/share/espeak-data/mbrola_ph to see all espeak supported voices
