question about /proc/speakup

[Ryan Mann]

I heard that some speech synthesizers use hexadecimal values instead of 
regular numbers for parameters such as pitch and rate.  What does 
/proc/speakup do with these parameters.  Let's say I had one of these 
synthesizers and I read /proc/speakup/rate.  Would this show the hex value 
or does Speakup's proc interface convert these parameters to regular 
numbers?  Also, if I did something like echo 9 > /proc/speakup/rate would 
Speakup's proc interface convert ithe "9" to the hex value?  I'm asking 
because if this isn't the case, I have to make changes in my Speakupcfg 
and Speakupctl programs in order for them to be used with those type of 
synthesizers.
Thanks.
