speakfreely and the speakup reflector

[Chris Nestrud]

Victor,
I'm compiling it from the tar.gz source. I wasn't aware that rpm's
existed, but if they do, I'd imagine they were built with the standard
Makefile options. Still, it's something to look into. I have /dev/audio
and /dev/audio1, but perhaps that isn't useful for sfmike and it's coring
on that.
