Just following up on my experiment to keep the Screen Reader on one sound card and the main Kodi on another. Works well. For the record I also installed mpg123 as a plugin for kodi on Openelec with some minimal changes. My only issue I ahve so far though is when playing speech via the usb sound card it always seems clipped a the end.. where as playing it via the internal sound card it does not. Weird. I will investigate further because the WeTek Play is a bit of an exotic beast. But I did want to say to everyone that if you are stuck with an ALSA build of Kodi and find the Screen reader locks up playing video then have a stab at doing what I did and use a separate sound card for speech.

Once again thanks Ruuk. it is a very nice and usable plugin if only openelec would install mplayer by default then I feel sure most of my headaches would be solved.

Cheers,
